The best soil is sandy loam, soil organic matter content is rich, and soil is the best slightly acidic soil. In the soil to improve the time to add sufficient organic fertilizer, fine tillage, soil will be fine, the land leveling, and finally ditch for the ridge.

2. Seed treatment

At present, there are five main varieties of Clivia, which are Laughing Clivia, Big Flower Clivia, Fine Leaf Clivia, Stem Clivia and Strange Clivia. At present, the planting methods used include seed propagation and subplant propagation, but the most commonly used is seed propagation. Before sowing, the seeds need to be soaked in warm water for about half an hour, taken out, dried, then soaked in sodium phosphate solution for more than 20 minutes, taken out, finally soaked in clear water for about 12 hours, taken out, and seeded. Sowing is done by drilling or dibbling, and the distance between each seed is about six to eight centimeters.

3. Seedling management

Generally seven to fifteen days after sowing will emerge, seedlings should be watered in time, do not water every day, generally every week or so can be watered. About a week after emergence, we need to check the growth of Clivia seedlings in the field. If we find that there is a lack of seedlings, we need to dig the soil to understand the reasons for the lack of seedlings, and then supplement the seedlings after the left. In order to promote the growth of Clivia, we need to irrigate it with organic fertilizer and water after it grows for about a month.

4. Conservation management

Generally, it will be put into the pot together with the base soil of Clivia. After transplanting, it needs to be watered to ensure that Clivia will not appear dead seedlings. Clivia late topdressing is mainly cake fertilizer, fish meal, bone-meal-based, so planted clivia will be more dynamic. At the same time, we also need to apply liquid fertilizer, but we should pay attention not to pour it on the leaves of Clivia. In order to reasonably control the light receiving situation of Clivia, it is necessary to build a greenhouse for shading, and this has great benefits for temperature regulation.

Clivia it is a kind of wet, fertile plants, there are many flower farmers in the planting time will be excessive watering and fertilization or the use of unreasonable fertilizer, which will have a great impact on the plant. We should pay attention to = Clivia generally can not use chemical fertilizer to fertilize, followed by water shortage, but water is not easy to be too large, not resistant to strong light, but not without light. There is also a need to change pots when Clivia grows to a certain size. The pots must be able to accommodate its root growth, and it is best to have a certain amount of space for extension.
