Flowering period of Clivia

Clivia has a long flowering period and can bloom all year round, but most of them still bloom in spring and summer, and can also bloom in winter. Generally speaking, the flowering period of Clivia is relatively long and has some uncertainties

When Clivia blooms, the scape is drawn out from the leaf axil, the flower stems are arranged and grow in an umbrella shape at the top of the flower, the umbrella inflorescence is terminal, and the flowers grow upright; Each inflorescence has as many as 70 flowers, and the style is very long, deep outside the perianth; Various colors, gorgeous fragrance, very beautiful

How does Clivia extend its flowering period

Fertilization

The flowering of Clivia needs sufficient nutrients, and the extension of flowering period needs more nutrient support. Therefore, before flowering, one-time bone meal, fermented fish viscera, bean cake water and so on can be added as fertilizer, which can make the flower color bright, and the flowers will increase and the leaves will become fat and thick

However, when applying fertilizer to Clivia, we should also pay attention to avoid too much nitrogen fertilizer and insufficient application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, resulting in weak growth or excessive growth of leaves, affecting flowering and not prolonging the flowering period

Shading and watering

Another simple way to prolong the flowering period of Clivia is to place the flowers of Clivia in a place away from light when they are about to bloom, properly control the watering, and pay attention to keeping the temperature in a low range, so as to prolong the flowering period of Clivia by 10-20 days

It should be noted that during the growth period, Clivia must meet enough light before it can make its normal photosynthesis and flowering. Only by reducing light during flowering can it have the opportunity to prolong the flowering period

Watering should be greatly reduced during flowering, but if you want to prolong the flowering period, you should control watering. Watering can be carried out according to half of normal watering
