How does the gentleman orchid grow up fast?

Clivia is a kind of noble character, stand implicit high-grade precious flowers, also known as sword leaf Lycoris, large leaf Lycoris, etc., is a perennial herb ornamental plant of Clivia belonging to Amaryllidaceae, native to southern South Africa, flowering period of 30~50 days, mainly in winter and spring, but also flowering around New Year's Day to Spring Festival, let's take a look at how Clivia grows fast!

How does clivia grow fast?

1, soil: Clivia is suitable for acidic and corrosive substances rich in soil, and good permeability, sufficient water but not too saturated, can be humus soil 65%, clean sand 20%, fine furnace ash 15% mixed, in the process of growth need to constantly change the soil.

2. Fertilization: Clivia should apply solid fertilizer once in winter, apply less nitrogen fertilizer, apply more phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, and also apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer to promote the germination of more new plants and leaves, but the fertilizer must be appropriate, and it is forbidden to apply concentrated fertilizer and raw fertilizer without fermentation.

3. Watering: Clivia can be watered every 20 days or so in combination with fermented bean cake water, light fishy water and horseshoe water. When the room temperature is low, watering should be controlled to prevent the pot soil from being too wet. If the pot soil is too wet, it will cause the root rot of the plant to die, but it cannot make the pot soil too dry.

4, temperature: Clivia in winter growth suitable temperature is 15~20℃, preferably not lower than 10℃. The temperature should be kept at about 18 ° C after the arrow, and the temperature difference between day and night is preferably about 10 ° C, otherwise the flower arrow will bloom if it does not grow to a proper height, and it is easy to form a "clip arrow".

5, light: Clivia is a medium-light plant, with scattered light best, growth process does not need strong light, especially in summer avoid direct sunlight. In winter, strong light can shorten flowering period, moderate light can prolong flowering period, if early flowering is needed, short day treatment can be adopted.

Why isn't the lily blooming?

1, nutrition discomfort: Clivia into the reproductive period after part of the nutrients to the reproductive organs for flower bud differentiation, then if the nitrogen fertilizer used more and lack of phosphorus will cause excessive growth of plants resulting in flower bud differentiation can not be carried out normally, thus affecting normal flowering.

2, water imbalance: Clivia's life activities need water, and the nutrients in the soil can only be absorbed by the root hair after being dissolved by water, so reasonable watering, so that the plant nutrition grows well, after entering the reproductive growth period, normal flower bud differentiation and timely flowering.

3. Light discomfort: Clivia belongs to medium sunshine flowers. Under long sunshine conditions, it can only grow and cannot differentiate flower buds, so it cannot bloom for a long time. To make Clivia bloom, it must be moved indoors without lights at night. When the flower scape is extracted, it does not matter.

4. Temperature discomfort: Clivia stops growing when the temperature is lower than 10℃ or higher than 30℃. Too high or too low room temperature will lead to poor plant growth, which will affect the flowering of pregnant buds. Therefore, it is advisable to cultivate Clivia at room temperature of 11~17℃.

What about the arrow?

1, temperature discomfort: Clivia growth temperature is 15~25℃, below 15℃ will grow poorly, especially before the bud if less than 15 ℃ above, it is difficult to extract the scape, so it is necessary to adjust the temperature in time to facilitate the flower scape extraction.

2, temperature difference is not enough: Clivia growth habits like day and night temperature difference is large, if the temperature difference is small, it is difficult to pull. After flower bud differentiation and before arrow channeling, the temperature should be controlled at about 10℃, archery is easier, otherwise there will be arrow clamping phenomenon.

3. Insufficient fertilization: Clivia needs to increase the number of fertilizers in autumn after 3 years of cultivation. It is best to apply liquid fertilizer containing more phosphorus, and to alternately apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. If necessary, 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer can be added to promote flower bud formation and early flowering.

4, improper watering: Clivia arrows such as lack of water will also make the growth of the scape blocked and lead to clip arrows, so when drawing arrows to increase the amount of watering, keep the pot soil moist, otherwise the bulbs and leaves will be due to lack of water and the physiological activities of the plant blocked, so that clip arrows affect flowering.

5. Too much pressure: When Clivia is transferred to reproductive growth, we should always pay attention to the changes of bulbs. If the bulb pressure is too large, the arrow can be clamped. The leaf sheath clamped by the arrow can be cut open by 1.5 cm with a sharp knife to reduce the pressure of the base of the leaf sheath on the arrow scape and promote the Scape.

How to manage clivia in winter?

1, fertilization: Clivia winter nutrition growth rate is the fastest, the most nutrients needed, so it is very important to apply winter fertilizer. Before flowerpots enter the room, use bone meal, fried sesame seeds, cooked soybeans, etc. or compound fertilizer to irrigate once every 15 to 20 days, or irrigate roots with soaking solution of animal and plant residues.

2, watering: Clivia is a fleshy root, good gas afraid of water damage, leaves have waxy layer, winter temperature is low, water transpiration, evaporation is less. Therefore, watering should not be too much, just combine fertilization and watering, keep the pot soil moist, must not be soaked in water, resulting in rotten roots and dead seedlings.

3, heat preservation: Clivia must be kept warm in winter, and it is appropriate to maintain about 18 ° C after the flower stems are extracted. The temperature is too high, leaves, flower moss long thin, flower small quality poor, flowering short. The temperature is too low, the flower stem is short, it is easy to clip the arrow premature (flowering), affecting the quality and reducing the ornamental value.

4, dimming: Clivia likes scattered light, avoid direct light, winter indoor maintenance should be placed in a place with sufficient light, especially before flowering to have good light, conducive to bud development strong. After flowering, proper cooling, avoiding strong light and keeping good ventilation are beneficial to prolonging flowering period.

5. Leaf protection: Clivia leaves are fertile and strong, leaves are green and flowers are bright, and leaves are short, wide, thick, green, bright and quite healthy characteristics. They are also the basis for promoting flowering and improving ornamental value. In addition to providing reasonable fertilizer and water, maintaining strong leaf quality must keep leaves clean to improve photosynthetic efficiency.
