An introduction to the watering tips and correct watering methods for Clivia Miniata, a green plant for flower lovers, let's take a look together!
Clivia Miniata, also known as Sword-leaf Amaryllis, Daman Orchid, is native to South Africa and is a highly ornamental flower. Clivia Miniata is dignified and graceful, with bright and elegant colors, and is warmly pursued by many flower enthusiasts. It not only has ornamental value but also has the function of purifying the air and absorbing dust. In the process of raising Clivia Miniata, watering is an important issue. Let's see how to water it.
1. Water according to the season
The temperature of the water for watering should be determined by the season. In summer, the water temperature should be within 25℃~28℃, and should not be too high. In winter, the water temperature should be kept at about 8℃~10℃, not too low, and should be kept close to room temperature.
2. Water based on humidity
When watering based on humidity, it is also necessary to pay attention to the humidity of the environment. If the humidity is too high, do not water the Clivia Miniata anymore, otherwise it will lead to the accumulation of excess water and cause the plant to rot. Generally speaking, when the humidity reaches 90-100, watering the plant should be stopped.
3. Watering during the sprouting period
When Clivia Miniata sprouts new buds, reduce the frequency of sprinkling water on it. When watering, be careful not to pour water directly onto the plant, but water close to the bottom roots of the plant.
4. Water thoroughly
When watering Clivia Miniata, make sure to water thoroughly. Do not just water half of it, otherwise it will cause uneven water distribution in the plant, leading to dry roots and soft leaves, which is not good for the growth and development of Clivia Miniata.
5. Watering time
The watering time should be chosen in the morning or evening when the temperature is relatively cool, and do not water at noon when the temperature is too high, otherwise it may hurt the Clivia Miniata.
6. Water after fertilizing
The day after fertilizing, water Clivia Miniata with "reviving water" in the early morning because after fertilizing, Clivia Miniata easily becomes dehydrated after absorbing nutrients, so it is necessary to replenish water in time. "Reviving water" can also dilute the remaining fertilizer to prevent excessive fertilization from causing damage.
7. Avoid excessive watering
Do not water Clivia Miniata excessively. Let the soil dry and then water. If the soil is not dry, there is no need to water. Excessive watering can cause the plant's roots to rot, so it's better to keep the soil a bit dry than to overwater.
8. Control water quality
You can use rainwater to water Clivia Miniata, but do not use acid rain or artificial rainwater, as these will have adverse effects on Clivia Miniata.
9. Do not spray water randomly
You can properly spray water on Clivia Miniata to clean the leaves and moisturize and cool down. However, be careful not to spray water on Clivia Miniata when it's hot or the sunlight is too strong, and also avoid doing so when the humidity is too high.
