Leave the room at the right time

Clivia, which is maintained indoors in winter, should be moved to outdoor maintenance in due time with the rise of temperature in spring

Matters before leaving the room:

Windows must be opened for ventilation 1 and 2 days before leaving the room

Suitable time for leaving the room:

In temperate areas, people usually leave the room before and after the Qingming Festival, and in cold areas, it must be delayed by about 15 days. Or you can leave the room when the temperature is above 15 ℃

Precautions after leaving the room:

After leaving the room, you should first put it in the half shade of the leeward. After Clivia gradually adapts to the external environment, you can move it to a place with air circulation and receive sufficient light

Pot changing ramet

The pot change time of adult Clivia is generally carried out after flowering in spring. Plants that do not bloom in spring can change pots when they leave the room

Basin change:

1. Carefully remove the Clivia from the basin, and then remove the old soil

2. Properly trim the roots, cut off the old and diseased roots, and apply carbendazim powder on the wound for sterilization

3. Replace with new culture soil. The new culture soil should be prepared according to the ratio of rotten leaf soil: pine needle: river sand: charcoal = 4:2:3:1. So as to increase the nutrient and permeability of soil

4. The finalized Clivia can be cultivated in the original basin, while the growing Clivia should use a larger basin

5. Hold the root system by hand when putting it into the basin, gather it and put it into the basin. Pour the soil while straightening the flowers

Ramet:

1. For plants with tiller buds at the base of the plant, 3 ~ 4 new leaves, and Clivia plant height of more than 10 cm, it is more appropriate to separate when changing pots

2. The new leaves with roots shall be carefully cut away from the mother plant with a sterilized sharp knife. Those without roots shall be broken off by hand, and the wound shall be coated with sulfur yellow powder or carbendazim for sterilization

3. Single plants with roots can be directly planted in small pots, while those without roots can be cultivated with fine sand first, and then maintained in pots after rooting

Watering and fertilization

Due to the rising temperature in spring and the early growth of Clivia, its water demand is increasing day by day. After the slow growth of Clivia in winter, there are few nutrients in the body, and there will be a high demand for fertilizer

watering:

Due to the increase of water demand of Clivia, the number of watering should also increase accordingly, but pay attention to not watering too much, and keep the basin soil moist at ordinary times. In the current season, water once every 4 ~ 5 days

fertilization:

Nitrogen fertilizer should be the main fertilizer for Clivia. Thin liquid fertilizer, such as fermented soybean cake fertilizer or aqueous urea solution, should be applied about 10 days after leaving the room

Pest control

With the rise of temperature, diseases and insect pests in dormant period begin to spread, invade plants and affect their growth and development

Prevention methods:

The plant leaves and bulbs can be sprayed with 0.3 ~ 0.5 Baume degree stone sulfur mixture once every 10 days for 2 ~ 3 consecutive times, which can not only prevent diseases, but also kill overwintering pests
