How to Cultivate Clivia Miniata
A brief knowledge sharing with you on how to cultivate Clivia Miniata and the related introduction of Clivia planting techniques and management for green plants and flowers. Let's take a look together.
Raising Clivia Miniata is not as difficult as imagined. Pay attention not to expose it to direct sunlight, avoid waterlogging in the potting soil, provide cooling when the temperature is too high, and keep it warm when it's too low. Generally, you can grow it well. Below is a detailed introduction to the cultivation methods of Clivia Miniata.
1. Light Requirements
Light helps the plant perform photosynthesis and grow fully. Clivia Miniata enjoys sunlight. During the day, you can let the plant receive more natural light to help root growth. When there is strong direct sunlight, provide appropriate shading to prevent leaf sunburn.
2. Suitable Temperature
The suitable temperature for plant growth is between 15-25 degrees Celsius. During hot summers, cooling should be provided, or the plant can be placed in a shady place for maintenance. In winter, make sure to keep it warm. On sunny winter afternoons, you can let the plant receive sunlight to increase the temperature.
3. Scientific Fertilization
Nutrients can promote the plant's growth. Clivia Miniata likes fertilizer and can be fertilized once every half month, with decomposed cake fertilizer being the best choice. Apply it lightly and spray the leaves with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers such as monopotassium phosphate. Stop fertilizing during the summer dormant period and switch to phosphorus fertilizers when flowering in winter.
4. Proper Watering
Water once a day in spring, twice a day in the hot summer, 2-3 times a week in autumn, and once every 7-10 days in winter. Before watering, check if the potting soil is dry. If it is not dry, wait another day or two before watering.
5. Pot and Potting Soil
Pots can be made of ceramic or purple sand, with the size determined by the plant. A 2-leaf plant uses a 10 cm pot, 3-5 leaves use a 12 cm pot, and 6-10 leaves use a 20 cm pot. The potting soil needs to meet the requirements of being loose, breathable, fertile, and well-draining.
