The current stage is the golden stage for the growth of the Clivia, and management must be focused on the following:
1. Enter the room at a proper time. In order to allow normal flowering of Clivia, do not rush to move indoors in the fall and should be treated outside at a low temperature of about 5°C for about 10 days. During this period, it is necessary to water less, stop fertilizing, and give appropriate light during the day. Clivia can tolerate a temperature of about 5°C for a short time. After the Clivia plants were treated with low temperature, they were moved into the room and maintained at a temperature of 10°C to 15°C without direct sunlight.
2. Change pots in time. Small pots raising large flowers are not conducive to plant growth. 2 to 4 leaves of Clivia use 10 cm pots, 5 to 8 leaves use 13 cm pots, 9 to 12 leaves use 17 cm pots, 13 to 16 leaves use 23 cm pots, more than 17 leaves For pots 27 to 33 centimeters in length, do not use plastic basins, porcelain basins, or mud pots, preferably pots.
3. With a good basin soil. The best soil for the Clivia pots is mixed soil with 6:2:2 of rot leaf soil, river sand and furnace ash. If there is no rot, it is also possible to use pottery soil, river sand, and furnace ash to prepare pottery soil at a ratio of 5:3:2. Clay or alkaline soil may not be used.
4. Axillary buds sub-basin. Mature Clivia long buds, if you already have 5 to 6 leaves; it is necessary to change the buds in the fall, use the charcoal powder or fine ash after the plant pots.
5. Pay attention to fertilization. The autumn Clivia grows vigorously and requires a large amount of fertilizer. When the basin is changed, put some fermented soybean cake residue and bone meal as base fertilizer.
6. Control watering. In this stage, the amount of water for Clivia must be relatively reduced, the pots and soils can be kept moist, and do not dry out without watering.
7. Increase lighting. At this stage, you should let the blues get as much sunshine as possible. If the room is shady and the sun is too light, it can be supplemented with lights for 1 to 2 hours. The red light source is the best and white light sources should be avoided.
