How does Clivia grow

If you want the leaves of Clivia to be shiny and grow vigorously, you must maintain them well in autumn

Fertilization is the key

1. Self made liquid fertilizer

If you want to make Clivia grow vigorously, you can usually apply some self-made liquid fertilizer, such as self-made bean residue fertilizer, traditional Chinese medicine residue fertilizer, bean cake fertilizer, etc., which are all good fertilizers for feeding Clivia! Huahua today, let's talk about how to make soybean fertilizer

production steps:

(1) Boil the soybeans (in order not to waste food, it is best to use moldy soybeans), then crush the soybeans, put them in a clean plastic bottle, and then add an appropriate amount of rice washing water or clean water. The water surface must not exceed the soybeans

(2) Cover and seal it, and then put it in the sun to fully decompose. Open the cover in about 3-5 days to disperse the gas, and Rett it in about 30-40 days

(3) After the compost is made, mix it with clean water in the ratio of 1:50 and water Clivia directly. Clivia absorbs the nitrogen element in liquid fertilizer and grows slowly

2. Solid fertilizer

Clivia especially likes oil crops, so when changing pots in autumn, you can pad some oil crops in the flowerpot

operation steps:

(1) Peanut, melon seed, hemp seed, sesame and other oil crops can only be used after they are fried. They can be directly padded on the bottom of the Clivia basin

(2) If there is compound fertilizer and chicken manure at home. The magnolia can be buried in a small hole of about 5cm along the wall of the soil, and then the fertilizer can be directly absorbed by the Magnolia

Daily maintenance

In addition to fertilization, other aspects are also very important if Clivia wants to grow vigorously

1. Illumination

When Clivia starts to grow in autumn, we must ensure sufficient light. It can be placed on the Nanyang platform separated by glass, so that Clivia can not only bask in the sun, but also not burn its leaves

In addition, rotate the flowerpot of Clivia 180 degrees at an interval of about 1 week to prevent the leaves of Clivia from becoming skewed

2. Watering

After the dormancy period in summer, the water demand of Clivia in autumn is greatly increased. Water it once every 3-5 days to ensure that the basin soil is slightly wet. When watering, be careful not to touch the leaf center, otherwise it is easy to black rot

What about the skew leaves of Clivia

Some Clivia in Huayou's home often has different degrees of skewness. Today Huahua will teach you a few ways to correct it

1. Small clip

Clip the skewed leaves and adjacent normal leaves of Clivia together with small clips. It is best to choose the wooden clip with less strength, and when clamping, pad toilet paper to avoid damaging the leaves. It will recover in a while

2. Opaque paper

Cut it into the same shape as the leaves of Clivia with tinfoil or opaque paper, then fold it in half, wrap the skewed side of Clivia, and then clamp the paper with a paper clip. It can be corrected in about 2 weeks

How to rub the crab claw long and open the explosion Basin

In autumn, the crab claw orchid wakes up from dormancy and is ready to grow and bloom, so the maintenance in autumn is particularly important

Short sunshine + small black house

If you want the crab claw orchid to grow vigorously and bloom more in autumn, you have to shut it in a small black room

operation steps:

1. Crab claw orchid likes the scattered light of short sunlight. If direct sunlight, it is easy to cause leaf burns, so it must ensure the scattered light of crab claw orchid for 6 hours every day

2. In addition to these six hours, the crab claw orchid should be kept in a completely dark environment at other times. You can put the crab claw orchid in a completely dark room, or you can find a large paper box to directly cover the whole crab claw orchid inside to create a dark environment and let the crab claw orchid breed more flower buds

Daily maintenance

1. Fertilization

Before the crab claw orchid blooms, apply rotten liquid fertilizer once a week, such as bean cake fertilizer and rice washing water. Wait until the bud pregnancy period, spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution 1-2 times, so as to promote the crab claw orchid to grow more buds and bloom more

2. Cut off the young leaves

Some of the tender leaves just grown in autumn will not bloom during the flowering period, so they should be cut off in time to avoid nutrient consumption

3. Timely bud thinning

Sometimes 2-3 flower buds grow at the top of the stem node of crab claw orchid at the same time. The consequence of this competition for nutrition is that all the flower buds bloom small or even do not bloom. At this time, the buds must be sparse. Keep the largest flower bud on each stem node and cut off the rest

How does crab claw orchid leaf become soft

1. Rotten roots cause leaves to soften

(1) If the rotten roots of the crab claw orchid are not very serious, pour less water, increase the light, and let the crab claw orchid slowly ease back

(2) If the root rot is serious, take the crab claw out of the pot and clean the soil on the root

After that, trim the old and weak roots on the roots of crab claw orchid, soak them in carbendazim solution for 20 minutes, then dry them and put them in the basin again

2. Leaves soften due to improper watering

1. Watering too much can easily lead to ponding in the flowerpot, making the growth of crab claw slow and the leaves soft. At this time, you can move the flowerpot to a ventilated place, loosen the soil, enhance the air permeability of the soil, and let the water in the flowerpot evaporate out as soon as possible

2. Too little watering will cause the soil to be too dry, the root system of crab claw will become dry and the leaves will become soft. Basically, water once every 3-5 days and wait until the surface of the basin soil is completely dry

How to rub long and blossom more in triangular plum

Recently, many flower friends have been asking Huahua backstage why my triangle plum doesn't bloom? Huahua thinks you must have failed to maintain it in place

Water control and shading, more flowering

If you want to blossom more, you must learn to control water and shade

1. Water control treatment

1. Water control will last about three weeks. After the water control starts, don't pour water through, just spray water toward the plant with a watering can, so that the triangle plum can keep wilting for half a day, and it won't wilt for half a day. If the weather is hot, you can spray more water. In this way, triangle plum can no longer sprout and supply nutrition to the old branches, so as to bloom as soon as possible

2. Fertilization is prohibited during water control. At the end of 20 days, change the pots of trigonometry plum, cut off the old and weak roots, apply organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer once a week, and spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate once before budding is enough

2. Shading treatment

Triangular plum needs strong light for a long time, but it needs short sunshine during flowering, so shading can be used to promote more flowering. It is generally carried out 20-30 days before the preset flowering. After 4 p.m. every day, move the triangle plum to the small black room, or cover it with a paper box, move out at 8 a.m. the next day, and then move back at night. After a cycle of about 1 month, the triangle plum can show its buds

Daily maintenance

1. Fertilization

If you want triangle plum to grow vigorously, you must apply more fertilizer. Usually, you can add some compound fertilizer, bean cake fertilizer and other flower fertilizer to make triangle plum stronger and its leaves more shiny; Before flowering, when buds appear, phosphorus fertilizer such as fish intestines fertilizer and bone meal fertilizer are applied in combination with Paclobutrazol to avoid too long inflorescences, which is conducive to more flowering

2. Branch pruning

Many flower friends are reluctant to prune the triangle plum when they see that it is growing vigorously at home. However, this will lead to no flowering. Therefore, they must prune it carefully to grow more and more vigorously
