To make it bloom beautiful flowers, the following points must be considered: suitable temperature, the indoor temperature in winter should not be lower than 10℃; reasonable watering, both the quality of water and the frequency of watering are important; providing nutrients, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are essential. Let's elaborate on this below.
I. Suitable Temperature
Clivia Miniata prefers warmth, with the most suitable growth temperature between 15℃ and 25℃. It is more likely to bloom within this temperature range. In winter, temperatures are often lower, and it is less likely to bloom when the temperature is below 10℃, and there is a possibility of growth cessation and plant death when it drops below 5℃. It is necessary to take insulation measures in winter, such as covering it with a thin layer of plastic film.
II. Reasonable Watering
Clivia Miniata has certain requirements for water quality. Tap water contains a lot of chlorine, which needs to be settled for a few days until the chlorine completely evaporates before it can be used. Besides tap water, rainwater and washing rice water are also preferred by it, as they contain a lot of organic matter and minerals, which are rich in nutrients and suitable for watering plants. Clivia Miniata loves water. To make it bloom, it needs sufficient but not excessive water. Moist soil is beneficial for the plant to absorb water and nutrients. Generally, watering twice a week, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, is enough.
III. Providing Nutrients
The prerequisite for Clivia Miniata to bloom is that the plant contains enough nutrients, so fertilizing is a must-do task. During the growing period, fertilize about every 10 days, mainly with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which help it bloom. But remember to reduce the application of fertilizers containing nitrogen to avoid the situation of long leaves but no flowers. The fertilizers should be diluted. Increasing the frequency and reducing the concentration can make Clivia Miniata bloom.
