How to deal with the failure of Clivia MiniataThe editor explains how to deal with the failure of Clivia Miniata and describes the knowledge of Clivia Miniata maintenance techniques, including the following contents:Clivia Miniata does not grow new leaves for a long time, and the original leaves are thin and yellow, indicating that the plant is deficient in nutrients. Especially for those Clivia Miniata that have finished blooming, the process of flowering consumes a lot of nutrients. If the flower stem is not pruned after flowering, allowing it to continue growing seeds, and no timely fertilization is provided to replenish nutrients, the plant's growth will become increasingly poor. So what maintenance is needed for Clivia Miniata after flowering?First: Prune the wilted flowersIf you want Clivia Miniata to have high ornamental value even when not flowering, you need to make its leaves grow wide, full, dark green, and shiny.After the plant has finished flowering, the first step is to prune the faded flowers to prevent them from continuing to consume nutrients. When pruning, be careful not to cut the base of the flower stem all at once, just cut off the faded flowers, so that the nutrients in the flower stem will flow back into the rootstock.Wait until all the nutrients in the flower stem have flowed back to the roots and the stem becomes dry, then cut it off from 2 to 3 centimeters from the bottom. If the flower stem is cut directly, do not cut it too low, as accidentally watering can easily cause the leaf heart to rot.Second: Regularly change the potting soilIt is best to repot Clivia Miniata every 1 to 2 years. If the pot is not changed for too long, the nutrients in the soil will become increasingly scarce, and it is prone to alkalization and compaction, leading to weaker plant growth and difficulty in growing new leaves.Another purpose of repotting Clivia Miniata is to prune the old, weak, empty, and rotting roots. If there are too many old and weak roots, their absorption capacity is weak, which makes the plant's growth less vigorous. If there are rotting roots, it can cause yellow leaves. Trim and整理 the roots during repotting, prune the rotting roots if present, and then消毒 the rotting area with potassium permanganate before potting.How to deal with the failure of Clivia MiniataGood potting soil is the key to properly raising Clivia Miniata. When repotting, prepare a loose, fertile, and well-draining nutrient-rich soil, which can include more pine needle soil and humus soil, rich in nutrients.Third: Sufficient fertilization and watering during the plant's growth periodIf you want Clivia Miniata to grow vigorously, you not only need loose and fertile soil but also need to maintain sufficient fertilization and watering during the plant's growth period. For example, after the plant has finished flowering, you should fertilize it in time to replenish nutrients. If you plan to keep the seeds, you should add more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as diammonium hydrogen phosphate, applying it once a week to allow the seeds to mature as soon as possible.For Clivia Miniata that does not intend to keep seeds, you can use more nitrogen-rich fertilizers, preferably some decomposed organic fertilizers like sheep manure, soybean cakes, or other fermented organic fertilizers. Apply some to the pot every month, which can not only replenish nutrients for the plant but also improve the soil.Fourth: Do not over-wet the potting soilAlthough Clivia Miniata prefers a humid environment, it should not be watered too frequently. Many Clivia Miniata with rotting roots are caused by excessive watering. When the potting soil is too moist for a long time, the roots in the soil cannot breathe normally, and over time, it can cause root suffocation, leading to rotting roots and yellow leaves.
