Share with everyone how to cultivate Clivia Miniata for abundant blooming and a detailed introduction to the correct care methods for green plants and flowers. Next, the editor will introduce.
It is the beginning of May, the time of the Start of Summer, and the temperature is rising day by day, with frequent thunderstorms. This is tough on the flowers in the garden. Flowers that are blooming beautifully can wither after being swept by the rain, leaving petals scattered everywhere. Gardeners troubled by the rain can try "Clivia Miniata," a special kind of flower that loves to bloom in the wind and rain. You don't have to worry about rainy days, and you can even enjoy beautiful flowers after the rain.
Summer is the peak blooming season for Clivia Miniata. Although it is a very hardy flower, achieving a burst of blooms requires some effort. Below are some useful tips that can double the number of flowers in summer.
1.Expose to plenty of sunlight
When not blooming, Clivia Miniata has only thin, long green leaves, similar in appearance to ordinary weeds, and it also has many weed-like habits. Most flowers are afraid of the sun, especially the scorching summer sun, which can wilt them. But Clivia Miniata is different; it not only isn't afraid of the sun but actually loves it. If it gets too little sun, Clivia Miniata can't perform photosynthesis properly, the leaves will grow too long, become pale yellow and disorganized, flower bud differentiation will be hindered, blooming will decrease, and flowers will shrink, etc.
Clivia Miniata is not afraid of the sun, even if the summer sun is intense, it won't get sunburned. Feel free to move the pot to the sun and expose it to plenty of sunlight. The more it's exposed, the better it blooms!

2. Control watering
Cultivating Clivia Miniata should not make it too "comfortable." If we water it frequently like ordinary flowers, keeping the potting soil moist for a long time, Clivia Miniata will keep growing leaves but not bloom. When watering, try to simulate the state of rain: don't water Clivia Miniata first and let the potting soil dry out completely. When the soil surface turns white and dry, and the pot becomes very light, it means the potting soil is dry. Then water it thoroughly, simulating rain, and soak each part of the soil completely. Repeat this cycle several times to promote flower bud differentiation. Sometimes, even if it doesn't rain, watering can make Clivia Miniata bloom.
3. Supplement with fertilizer
We just mentioned that Clivia Miniata has the habits of a weed, with a very strong root system and strong adaptability to soil, and it can grow even in poor soil. However, to make it bloom more flowers in summer, it is still necessary to apply some fertilizer regularly to supplement nutrients. Be sure to pay attention to the amount when fertilizing; Clivia Miniata does not like rich fertilizers, only a light application is needed.
If choosing solid fertilizers like decomposed cow or sheep manure, soybean cake fertilizer, or compound fertilizer, take a small amount and bury it in the potting soil or sprinkle it on the soil surface, using it once every 1-2 months. Or you can also use liquid fertilizers, mainly high-phosphorus and potassium fertilizers like Huaduo No. 2 and monopotassium phosphate, using them once every 10-15 days. Follow the principle of using thin fertilizers in small amounts, avoiding rich and raw fertilizers.
