Clivia blooms several years ago
Known as the 'Queen of the Living Room,' Clivia's elegant flower appearance and unique growth characteristics have fascinated countless flower lovers. If you want to witness the wonderful moment of Clivia blooming, you must master its growth laws and essence maintenance. Flowering cycle analysis of the relationship between the number of leaves and flowering mature clivia requires more than 12 fleshy leaves to have the ability to bloom. Under natural conditions, it usually takes 2 years to complete nutrient accumulation. There are significant differences in special varieties. Clivia takes a long wait of 8-10 years, while Clivia takes only 5 months to complete its life cycle. Comparison of growth characteristics of varieties is in sharp contrast to Clivia large-flowered and Clivia fine-leafed. The former has wide and thick leaves and takes 3-4 years to bloom, while the latter has long leaves and can appear buds in 2-3 years. The introduced Japanese improved varieties have been genetically optimized to shorten the flowering cycle to 18 months. Clivia flowering management skills Ideal flowering characteristics Natural flowering period is concentrated from June to July, and high-quality plants can last for 45 days. The inflorescences have an umbrella-shaped structure, and a single plant can bear 20-30 flowers. The orange-red line accounts for 78%. The yellow variety is even more precious due to its scarcity. The possibility of blooming in all seasons Through light regulation and temperature management, the miracle of blooming 2-3 times a year can be achieved. The key is to maintain a temperature difference of 8-10℃ between day and night, and cooperate with precise water and fertilizer control to create a growth environment similar to the native place. Practical plan to promote flower maintenance and accurately control the flowering temperature of Clivia for several years. 20℃ is the golden temperature for flower bud differentiation. In winter, it needs to be kept above 15℃ to avoid dormancy. Special attention should be paid to avoid the "arrow pinching" phenomenon. A sudden change in temperature exceeding 5℃ will lead to a 60% flowering failure rate. Scientific management of light is optimal for scattered light for 6-8 hours a day. Direct exposure of strong light for more than 2 hours may burn leaves. It is recommended to use a gauze curtain with a shading rate of 30%, and rotate the flowerpot regularly to ensure uniform light reception. During the flowering period, the watering frequency needs to be increased to 5 days per time, and the roots should be irrigated with 1000 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate. The air humidity is maintained within the range of 65%-75%, and an ultrasonic humidifier can be used to assist in regulation.
Mastering these core points can not only shorten the flowering cycle of Clivia, but also improve the quality of flowers. It is recommended to regularly observe the status of plants, establish a maintenance log to record key data such as temperature and watering amount, and gradually form a personalized maintenance system.
