What is the appropriate temperature for Clivia?
As a representative of indoor leaf-viewing plants, Clivia is deeply loved for its tall and straight leaf appearance and elegant temperament. To allow this flower from southern Africa to grow healthily in a home environment, it is particularly important to master its temperature adaptation rules and supporting maintenance techniques. Clivia temperature control system Four seasons temperature management plan It is most suitable to grow at 18-25℃ in spring and autumn. Controlling the temperature difference between day and night at around 10℃ can promote flower bud differentiation. When the temperature exceeds 28℃ in summer, the cooling process needs to be started: spray to moisturize in the morning and evening, move to the north-facing window sill at noon, and cooperate with electric fans to promote air circulation. In winter, it is necessary to maintain a low temperature vernal temperature of 12-15 ° C, but it must not be lower than 5 ° C. Double glass insulation or insulation film can be used. Emergency treatment for temperature abnormalities When the leaves wilting due to continuous high temperatures, you can use the dipping basin method to cool down: place the flower pot on the water injection tray for 30 minutes, and remove the heat through the capillary action of the pottery basin. The initial symptom of low-temperature frostbite is yellowing at the tip of the leaf. A miniature greenhouse should be made immediately in a transparent plastic bag and gradually returned to 15 ° C. Clivia system maintenance plan light and shadow balance control is the best way to receive 3 hours of morning light every day. Use gauze curtains with a shading rate of 50% to filter strong light at noon. Rotate the flowerpot 45 degrees every 10 days to create a symmetrical plant type through the light-tracking characteristics of the leaves. In winter, full-spectrum plant lights can be used to fill light, and the distance from the leaf surface is 40cm away for 2 hours a day. Collaborative management of water and fertilizer implements the "sandwich watering method" during the growth period: when the surface soil is cracked and cracked, loosen the soil first, inject 20 ° C preheated water until the bottom of the basin seeps water, and 2 hours later, apply special orchid fertilizer diluted 800 times. Change the dormant period to the "edge infiltration method" and slowly inject 50ml of clear water along the edge of the basin. Substrate renewal strategy Change the plant material before and after the sting every year, and prepare according to pine needle soil: decomposed bark: vermiculite =5:3:2. Reserve 1/3 of the core soil when changing pots, prune the rotten roots and soak them in carbendazim solution, and lay a 3cm ceramsite drainage layer at the bottom of the new pot. After changing pots, place them in a cool place to slow down for 15 days.
Through precise temperature control and systematic maintenance, Clivia can not only safely spend the summer and winter, but also achieve the ornamental miracle of blooming twice a year. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log based on the growth status of the plant and gradually grasp the rhythm of regulation at each growth stage.
