Cultivation methods and precautions for indoor Clivia

Clivia is a plant of the Amaryllis family. The leaves of this plant are opposite and dark green. It can absorb dust and pollutants in the air, beautify the environment, and purify the air. Moreover, it has a relatively long flowering period, bright colors, and high ornamental value. It is most suitable for indoor cultivation. But how should indoor Clivia be cultivated? What should be paid attention to when cultivating Clivia indoors?

Farming methods

1. Correct soil preparation

When growing Clivia indoors, you must make sure to use the correct soil arrangement, because this plant is native to the high altitudes of southern Africa. It likes loose and fertile soil with a high gluten content, and the soil must be slightly acidic. When preparing the culture soil, you should choose 65% humus soil and 20% clean sand, and then add 15% fine ash. After mixing them evenly, you can directly plant Clivia.

2. Apply fertilizer in time

Clivia is a fertilizer-loving plant. When it is cultivated indoors, it is necessary to apply fertilizer in time, especially before winter every year. You can choose phosphate fertilizer or potassium fertilizer. In addition, after it enters the budding period, you should apply fertilizer in time. You can choose nutritionally balanced compound fertilizer. However, during the cultivation of Clivia, you cannot apply agricultural fertilizer or unfermented raw fertilizer, otherwise it will cause the roots to rot and the leaves to turn yellow.

3. Water appropriately

When growing Clivia indoors, you need to water it in moderation, and water it thoroughly each time, but do not allow water to accumulate in the pot. In addition, after the Clivia enters the flowering period, you should apply some bean cake water or light fish water when watering. This can promote its rapid flowering and prolong its flowering period.

Precautions

When growing Clivia indoors, you must pay attention to environmental regulation, because Clivia likes semi-shaded and cool environment. It must not be placed in a high temperature, strong light and dry environment. Especially after entering summer, it should be moved away from high temperature areas such as windowsills or balconies, and it must be cooled in time, otherwise its leaves will become narrow and long, and its ornamental value will be significantly reduced.
