The clivia at home is very energetic, with green leaves, and I feel good every time I see them. However, if it wants to grow better, fertilization is the key! Today, let me tell you in detail how to fertilize clivia so that your clivia can also become an "emerald" on the balcony. 1. Base fertilizer: Lay a solid foundation for Clivia
The base fertilizer of Clivia is like its "nutritious breakfast" and is best applied when changing pots. You can choose animal manure, green manure, compost, bean cake fertilizer, etc. These fertilizers are rich in nutrients and can provide sufficient nutrients for the growth and development of Clivia. Method:
1. Before changing pots, mix the base fertilizer well with the soil.
2. Ensure that fertilizer is kept at a certain distance from the roots to avoid burning the roots. 2. Top dressing: Supplementing the nutrients needed for growth
dressing is like a "lunch" for Clivia, which is carried out during the growth of the plant. Commonly used fertilizers include cake fertilizer, bone meal, fish meal, etc. As the plants age, timely topdressing helps the growth of the plants. Method: 1. Remove the pot soil for 2 to 3 centimeters and apply fertilizer.
2. Be careful not to get too close to the root system to avoid damaging the roots.
3. Usually once a month, and the time can be appropriately reduced during the growing season, once every 20 days. 3. Liquid fertilizer: Supplementing trace elements to promote growth Liquid fertilizer is like Clivia's "afternoon tea". It can replenish trace elements lacking in the soil and promote plant growth. Method: 1. Soak decomposed manure of animals and plants, and take the clear solution and mix it with water 20 to 40 times.
2. Adjust the proportion of water added according to the difference between small seedlings, medium seedlings and large seedlings.
3. Pour clear water every 1 to 2 days after pouring the fertilizer solution to allow the fertilizer to fully penetrate into the roots. 4. Soybean fermented fertilizer: natural and organic, comprehensive nutrition, you know? After fermentation and decomposition, soybeans are natural nitrogen fertilizer, which is very helpful to the growth and absorption of Clivia roots. Method: 1. Put the soybeans in a pan and heat them to a boil. After boiling, place them in a container.
2. Fill the container with 2/3 of tap water, screw on the lid to naturally ferment and decompose.
3. It is most suitable to place it in the sun. In about two weeks, the soybeans can basically be fermented and decomposed.
4. During the fermentation process, the lid must be opened for ventilation at one day apart. 5. Precautions for fertilization 1. Before fertilizing, the soil should be watered thoroughly to allow the nutrients and water in the soil to be more fully dissolved and dispersed, so that Clivia can better absorb nutrients.
2. Do not water before fertilizing to avoid uneven dissolution of fertilizer.
3. Avoid splashing fertilizer on the leaves, flowers and other parts of Clivia to avoid burns.
4. Control the amount of fertilizer application and do not apply too much fertilizer at one time, lest Clivia cannot absorb it, causing problems such as fertilizer accumulation or root maturity.
5. Pay attention to the balance between fertilizer and water to avoid excessive dilution of nutrients in the soil during excessive heat wave or rain, which will affect the normal growth of Clivia.
Fertilizing clivia is actually not that complicated. As long as you master the right method, you can also let your clivia thrive and become an "emerald" on the balcony. Come and try it!
