It's the same gentleman orchid. Why does someone else's family grow so fast?

When it comes to Clivia, I think many flower friends are familiar with it. This flower has outstanding temperament and gentleman style, and the flowers are gorgeous and moving, and the ornamental value is very high.

But recently Xiaobian always receives such private letters, many people are very curious, why other people's clivia grow so fast, but their own has not moved, what is the problem?

In fact, the reason for this is nothing more than the following five points, and see what kind of situation your clivia belongs to.

1

dead plant seedling

If your own Clivia does not grow for several months or even half a year, you should consider whether the plant has already died.

If clivia stiff seedlings, you can take some white wine, and water to a ratio of about 1:1000 evenly mixed, and then slowly poured into the pot inside, basically a week later, clivia can resume growth.

2

fertility deficiency

If the growth rate of Clivia is slow, it is likely to be a problem of insufficient nutrients in the soil inside the flowerpot. At this time, it is necessary to fertilize the plant to supplement nutrients.

Apply it once or twice a month on weekdays, increase the frequency of fertilizing plants during the growth period of Clivia, and apply fully decomposed organic fertilizer once every ten days or so.

3

Forgot to change pots

In the process of conservation of Clivia, if the pot is not changed for a long time, it is easy to cause the root distribution in the soil to be too dense, affecting the normal respiration of the plant.

Therefore, the best solution is to change the pot for Clivia every two years or so, and appropriately cut off the part of the root system that does not grow well to stimulate the root system to sprout again.

When changing pots, it is recommended to replace the soil in the pots as well. Humus soil, garden soil and sand can be used to mix evenly in a ratio of 3:2:1, and then use such soil to conserve Clivia, which is beneficial to the growth of plants.

4

insufficient light

Clivia is a plant species that loves sunlight in nature. Clivia will accelerate its growth and become healthier and stronger only in an environment with sufficient light.

Many flower friends in high temperature weather because of fear of clivia sunburn, so put it in indoor shade, but do not know this is not conducive to the normal growth of clivia, no wonder the growth of plants will not be good.

In the weather where the temperature is too high, pay attention not to shade the clivia too much, but place it in a place with astigmatism for maintenance. When the temperature is right on weekdays, it must ensure no less than six hours of sunshine every day. This is the most conducive method for the growth of clivia.

5

root rot

Sometimes the reason why Clivia has not grown is probably because its root system has been damaged, which affects the growth rate of the plant.

If you haven't been hit by any of the above four points, you need to consider whether it belongs to this reason. Can give clivia water for two to three days, wait until the soil in the basin becomes soft and dry, and then carefully remove clivia from the basin with roots.

Carefully observe the root system status of Clivia, cut off the weak root system of rot disease, then apply some carbendazim to the wound, and then put it back into the basin to slow down the seedlings for one to two weeks. After Clivia recovers its growth, it can be maintained normally.
