Autumn and winter maintenance 5 secret moves to follow the flower arrow rubbing flower bud bloom

NO.1 Soil breathable and water retention, white roots whistling out!

If you want Clivia to thrive, first of all, you have to ensure that the root system is healthy. The soil should be breathable and water-retaining so that the root system can exchange gas with the outside world and raise healthy white roots! It is suggested that the soil should be configured according to the ratio of rotten leaf soil: pine needle: coarse sand: base fertilizer =5:3:2:1. If it is just changing pots or planting, you can put broken bricks, tiles, etc. at the bottom, and then put in the prepared soil, put Clivia into the flowerpot and fill it with soil, beat the flowerpot wall, let the root system contact with the soil and enrich it, and press the surface soil of the pot with your hands!

NO.2 proper lighting at flowering stage, flower bud differentiation twice as fast!

Flowering light is very important for clivia, clivia although like weak light growth environment, but before entering the flowering period to have sufficient light, especially in winter, sufficient light can promote clivia flower bud differentiation, adhere to the light time 4 hours a day, move south to the balcony, because clivia is the growth of leaves, must let it receive light evenly, otherwise it will cause the phenomenon of uneven leaves! So we have to adjust the position of the blades to receive light regularly! Such illumination clivia leaves not only beautiful, but also flower bud differentiation twice as fast!

NO.3 During pregnancy bud control water, flower bud open more and bigger!

Clivia watering has a very rigorous saying,"live or not live in water", so autumn to Clivia watering is the key, then how do we water it? First of all, into the autumn to the growth period of Clivia, but also the key period of breeding buds, this time need sufficient water supply, but not too much watering, keep the pot soil moist can, do not wait for the pot soil completely dry in irrigation, so easy to drop buds, so it is best to maintain the soil 3-4 into the humidity, into winter, watering must choose at noon irrigation, so as not to cause the water temperature is too low frostbite roots, affecting plant growth!

NO.4 fertilizer to enough, leaves strong flowering thief flourishing!

"Strong is not strong in fertilizer", so want to let Clivia grow strong, usually must give sufficient nutrients, after entering autumn and winter, minutes control nitrogen fertilizer more phosphorus potassium fertilizer, in the bud stage can apply more phosphorus fertilizer, can promote the formation of buds, after pollination more potassium fertilizer, flowers bloom prosperous, fertilization must be in accordance with the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent fertilization, you can make organic fertilizer at home, such as decomposed plant ash, bone meal and other fertilizers, If you feel trouble, you can apply 20g microbial fertilizer every 10 days. The metabolites of microorganisms can dissolve phosphorus and potassium. They have the effect of improving soil fertility, and they will not burn roots. They can be used all year round. They are very safe!

NO.5 temperature control is good, flower bud open thief Lavang!

If you want to make Clivia bloom, you should reasonably control the temperature difference. The temperature is higher during the day, photosynthesis is strong, and the organic matter and nutrients accumulated by flowers are more, but the temperature at night is low, and the flowers consume less energy, which is conducive to the growth and development of Clivia. How to control the temperature difference? The temperature should be controlled at 18-25℃ during the day, and the growth temperature at night should be controlled at 10-15℃. The temperature difference between day and night should be kept at 8-12℃ as much as possible, which is the best for the growth of Clivia. Before winter, Clivia will be placed in 5℃ environment for low temperature treatment for about 10 days, after which reasonable regulation of light and water and fertilizer, so that it can absolutely bloom in winter!
