An introduction to the care methods for Clivia Miniata flowering in summer and tips for making Clivia Miniata bloom quickly, the following editor will provide you with detailed answers
In summer, Clivia Miniata should be grown with minimal care, achieving three "less" aspects: thick, lush leaves that can bloom every year
Many plant enthusiasts like to keep a pot of Clivia Miniata at home, and some have been taking care of it for nearly ten years, blooming every year. Clivia Miniata can indeed be considered a low-maintenance plant, with its green leaves being both beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and its flowers are also very attractive, elegant, and vibrant.
In fact, Clivia Miniata is quite drought-resistant. Even if randomly kept in the living room without sunlight or water for a month, it can still grow tenaciously. Sometimes it blooms once a year, and sometimes it can even bloom twice. In summer, when succulent plants enter a dormant state, Clivia Miniata enters a semi-dormant state, growth停滞, and caring for it at this time is crucial. How to care for Clivia Miniata potted plants to help them survive the summer and beautifully transition into autumn?
One, water Clivia Miniata less in summer
Especially during the plum rain season when temperatures are high and humidity is high, it is not suitable to let it get rained on outside. It must be placed in a sheltered area to keep the soil slightly dry. Watering should be reduced, controlled well, and when temperatures are close to thirty degrees, water only once every ten days.
When watering, there is no need to soak the entire potting soil, just water part of it, and after watering, open the windows and doors for ventilation. If it is left outside in the rain for too long or watered too much, especially in a non-porous ceramic pot without good drainage, the soil is difficult to dry out, and combined with poor ventilation, it is likely that its fleshy roots will rot, followed by the lower leaves gradually turning yellow.

Two, expose Clivia Miniata to less sunlight in summer
In summer, our Clivia Miniata potted plants should not be placed in direct sunlight. When temperatures reach thirty degrees, it is necessary to provide shade. Clivia Miniata prefers diffused light and a semi-shaded environment. In summer, strong sunlight can cause unsightly sunburn on the leaves or lead to leaf yellowing.
Therefore, in summer, Clivia Miniata should not be placed directly on a balcony or in the open air. If it is grown in the ground, it is best to have tree shade to block the sunlight. If it is kept at home, it is best to place it on the north side of the north-facing window sill or the inner side of the south-facing balcony, or under a shade net, where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and is well-ventilated, and placed in a cool and well-ventilated area for the summer.
Three, fertilize Clivia Miniata less or not at all in summer
When temperatures are around twenty degrees, a little fertilizer can be given because it is still growing. But when temperatures exceed twenty-five degrees, even reaching thirty degrees, no fertilizer should be given because Clivia Miniata is in a dormant state in summer and does not grow, so it does not need fertilizer.
