1、 How to grow flowers

1. Timely soil change: Clivia generally needs to change soil every two years. First, long-term water and fertilizer irrigation leads to soil hardening, affecting root respiration and water penetration. Second, because the soil fertility is weakened, it is unable to provide nutrients for plants. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of soil replacement in spring and autumn. The new soil is mainly rotten leaf soil, combined with river sand and compost, which can ensure the growth of plants. In addition to the above reasons, if there is more watering and the root rots, it is also necessary to change the soil in time. At the same time, cut the root of the plant and spray it with carbendazim for disinfection

2. Regular pot rotation: Clivia needs enough light to bloom. Because it is a phototropic plant, if the light is not uniform, the plant will grow slightly, and there will be overgrowth, which will also affect flowering. Therefore, in order to make it better receive light, it is necessary to turn the basin regularly. For example, at the beginning, place the leaves in the east-west direction. After half a month, you can turn 180 ° to let the other side receive light, so that the plants can grow evenly

3. Proper fertilization: the growth of Clivia needs a certain amount of fertilizer, but at the same time, we should not apply too much fertilizer, otherwise it will damage the root of the plant. In addition to adding an appropriate amount of base fertilizer when changing pots, topdressing should be appropriate during the growth period of plants. Generally, fish meal, bone meal or cake fertilizer should be selected. When applying fertilizer, dig a 2-3cm deep pit on the soil surface and bury the fertilizer in it. Generally, it is applied once a month

2、 Flowering omen

1. The number of leaves is sufficient: Clivia usually grows leaves before flowering. The leaves must grow to 12. Generally, it takes 4 years to grow to 12 leaves

2. Draw out the flower arrow: the flower of Clivia grows at the top of the flower arrow, so you must draw out the flower arrow before flowering. Seeing the flower arrow indicates that it is about to bloom
