What are the environmental requirements for Clivia Miniata?
Do you know these? The common knowledge of raising flowers, the content about Clivia Miniata, what are the environmental requirements for Clivia Miniata? Let's learn about it together next.
Understanding the environmental requirements of Clivia Miniata can make it easier to deal with the daily care of Clivia Miniata, especially for some novice flower friends. This article mainly elaborates on the environmental requirements of Clivia Miniata from two aspects: maintenance environment and daily care.
First of all, we need to know that Clivia Miniata prefers a warm and humid environment, with a suitable humidity of 60%-70%, the best growth temperature is 10℃-22℃, can tolerate a minimum of 5℃, and needs to be shaded and cooled when the temperature reaches 30℃.
1. Lighting: Generally, we can choose from four directions of the balcony: southeast, northeast, northwest, and southwest, among which the south balcony has the most abundant sunlight. The east and west balconies can only receive short-term sunlight, and the north balcony has little or no sunlight. The most suitable environment is the south balcony. Clivia Miniata is a plant that requires intermediate sunlight, so if it is maintained on the south balcony, it needs to be shaded and cooled in summer (30℃ is the warning line). The east and west balconies, because they can receive short-term sunlight, have little effect on the normal growth of Clivia Miniata, while the north balcony affects the flowering of Clivia Miniata due to insufficient sunlight.
2. Humidity: We mentioned earlier that the suitable growth humidity for Clivia Miniata is 60%-70%, but it is difficult to achieve this requirement in family maintenance, so we should try to create such an environment. We can create a relatively closed environment, for example, some flower friends cover the windows of the balcony with transparent plastic cloth to reduce the loss of moisture and increase the humidity. Of course, we can also spray Clivia Miniata frequently except for the arrow and flowering period to increase humidity.
If flower friends understand the details of Clivia Miniata's potting soil, watering, and other maintenance issues, then the most important environmental factors for Clivia Miniata are the above two points (temperature has been mentioned above and will not be repeated).
Next, let's talk about some matters related to the soil and watering of Clivia Miniata. If you are familiar with it, you can ignore it. Novice flower friends can increase some understanding.
Soil: Clivia Miniata is suitable for using loose and fertile soil with good breathability and water permeability, such as a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, pine needle soil, peat soil, and garden soil in a certain proportion, as long as it is loose and breathable.
Watering: Clivia Miniata prefers a moist soil environment, but if the potting soil is too wet, the air in the soil is squeezed out, which can cause Clivia Miniata to have difficulty breathing, and over time, it may lead to root rot. If the watering is too little and the potting soil is too dry, it will affect the metabolic activities of the plant. Therefore, for watering Clivia Miniata, it is important to maintain the potting soil slightly moist.
The above shares the full content of the requirements of Clivia Miniata for environmental factors (flower friends' article) and hopes to help you. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will come to see more green plant and flower experience and common sense!
