The magnolia is easy to blossom from a small seedling.

Clivia, a flowering, a string of red flowers blooming branches, very good-looking. Moreover, Clivia leaves, slender and green, also has a high appreciation value. However, many flower friends raise Clivia, from young seedlings, always a problem. Today, let's talk about the maintenance knowledge of Clivia minor surface.

After sowing, the seedlings of Clivia sinensis grow 1 - 2 leaves and are planted separately. Basin soil can be mixed with 7 parts horse manure soil, 3 parts river sand or 7 parts forest humus soil and 3 parts river sand. When placing the seedlings into small pots, fill them gently with culture soil to avoid damaging the roots.

After planting, water should be poured thoroughly and placed in an indoor ventilated place, and the temperature should be kept at 15~20℃. During the seedling stage, when the summer temperature is high, water once a day. When the temperature is low in winter, the pot soil should be dried and then watered thoroughly. No fertilizer is needed. The nutrients contained in the new culture soil can meet the needs of seedling growth.

When the seedlings grow to 2 years old and have become big seedlings, thin orchid universal liquid fertilizer can be applied every spring and autumn, diluted 500 times, watering the roots once a week, but do not splash the fertilizer liquid on the leaves to avoid rotten leaves. 2-year-old Clivia, to keep the soil moist, temperature maintained at 15~25℃.

When it gets warmer in summer, clivia should be placed outdoors in a semi-shady place to avoid sun exposure; when it gets cold in winter, it should be placed indoors in a sunny place to prevent frostbite. If managed well at this stage, the plants grow strongly and can flower after 3 years, otherwise it takes 5 years or more.

In addition, in the process of Clivia growth, if the temperature is too low, soil drought, it will affect flower growth, resulting in the phenomenon of arrows. If this phenomenon occurs, flower friends should first ensure that the soil contains sufficient moisture, keep the room temperature at 17~20℃, and apply 500 times of flower organic liquid fertilizer and 0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate mixture to promote flower scape sprouting.

In addition, clivia in the growth process, often appear yellow leaves. There are four main causes of yellow leaves: one is sunburn. Second, water and fertilizer are too large. Third, the soil is too alkaline or too acidic, and fourth, it lacks nitrogen fertilizer.

Solution: Put Clivia in indoor or shade where there is scattered light, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the temperature at 15~25℃; replace the culture soil, cut off rotten roots, control the use of water and fertilizer; change the pH of the culture soil to make it neutral or slightly acidic. If attention is paid to cultivation, the yellow leaf phenomenon will be eliminated.
