How to choose Clivia?
Do you know these? Here's an explanation on how to select Clivia in terms of green plants and flowers. Next, let me introduce it to netizens.
Clivia has good ornamental value in terms of leaves, flowers, and fruits, so it is loved by many people.
Just last month, a friend of mine told me that she bought a pot of Clivia and she really liked it.
But yesterday, this friend called me, saying that her Clivia was dying. It turned out that the Clivia she bought had a problem with its roots. She didn't pay attention when buying it, and it was almost dead after just one month at home.
So, how exactly should you choose Clivia? In fact, when choosing Clivia, you can distinguish the quality of Clivia from its leaves.
What kind of Clivia has good quality?
Generally speaking, Clivia with short, wide, thick, and bright leaves is of the best quality.
The leaves of Clivia are upright, over 9-10 centimeters long, thick, with a substantial feel, and 2-2.5 millimeters in thickness.
The color of Clivia leaves, with deep green, light green, and glossy green being the best, followed by dark green.
In terms of luster, Clivia leaves can be categorized into glossy, oily, dull, and matte, with the glossier being better.
How to choose Clivia?
In terms of leaf shape, Clivia with a blunt leaf tip is considered the best.
The leaf veins, with green veins and prominent longitudinal and latitudinal patterns, are high-quality varieties, while flat veins and hidden veins are secondary.
When buying Clivia potted plants, apart from looking at the leaves, you can also look at the thickness of the flower stalks. Thick flower stalks, large flowers, a high number of blooms, and bright red colors are considered the best.
When choosing young Clivia seedlings, you should select those with light green leaves, short and thick, and light green flesh.
