2、 Plant introduction

Clivia is a perennial herb of Clivia in Lycoris family. It is native to South Africa and likes a warm and dry environment. The plant has milky fleshy roots and short stems. The leaves are extracted from the inside and grow symmetrically from left to right. It will not bloom until it grows to 12 pieces. Its scape grows from the axils of leaves and is funnel-shaped in shape. Its color is mostly orange yellow or orange red.

3、 How

1. Soil: loose and fertile soil must be used for planting Clivia. Good air permeability helps the root breathe, and the slightly acidic environment can also help it absorb nutrients. Generally, the pot soil is prepared with rotten leaf soil, pine needles, river sand and base fertilizer. The pot should be changed every 1-2 years and replaced with new soil.

2. Watering: the fleshy root of Clivia has the ability to store water, so it has strong drought tolerance. During the growth period, if the air is relatively dry and the temperature is relatively high, it is necessary to supplement water appropriately. Usually when the basin soil is half dry, water it to keep the soil slightly moist. Don't be too wet.

3. Fertilization: the growth of Clivia is inseparable from sufficient fertilizer. In addition to adding base fertilizer when changing pots, topdressing should be given to it during the growth period. If solid fertilizer is used, cake fertilizer or bone meal shall be used. 2-3cm of soil shall be removed and the fertilizer shall be buried inside. Liquid fertilizer needs to be diluted with water and sprayed, and watered every other day to accelerate the absorption of fertilizer.
