There are several breeding methods for Clivia
I would like to introduce you to several experiences in green plant maintenance illustrated by the Clivia breeding method for old roots. Next, I will let you understand them together.
I estimate that friends who like to grow flowers will have a pot of Clivia at home. No matter what the variety is, there should be no problem growing and blooming. Everyone should know something about the reproduction of Clivia, but it may be the first time you have heard of using aerial root cuttings. What are the methods to breed Clivia?
The first type is ramet. Clivia grows relatively slowly and takes more than 3 years to bloom. When Clivia becomes an old plant, it begins to produce side buds. When these side buds grow to a certain extent, directly break them off and put them back into pot. This is a new pot of Clivia. During maintenance, Clivia may have rotten heart conditions. At this time, you can deeply beheading and apply a little carbendazim or chlorothalonil to the wound. At this time, this rotten heart Clivia can grow a lot of side buds and turn into orchids, which is a method of meristem reproduction.
The second method is to sow seeds. The advantage of sowing is that more sowing is done at one time, but the survival rate is not as high as that of the branches, and the growth will be slower. Moreover, the fertilizer should be sufficient when maintaining clivia, so that the clivia will be larger when it blooms, and the fruits will be fuller after pollination, so that more seeds can be harvested after the seeds mature. The survival rate of these plump seeds will also increase. When raising seeds, the best medium is wood shavings, or nursery soil can also be used. Because when raising seedlings, sterile medium is used, the seeds are still relatively programmed.
The third type is aerial root cutting. During the maintenance process of Clivia, when the environment is relatively high temperature and high humidity, some Clivia will appear aerial roots. Using these aerial roots to cut Clivia is nonsense. There are no growth points on the aerial roots, so it will not grow. Cutting will rot in a few days. If you don't believe me, try it.
The above is an introduction to several breeding methods for Clivia and the illustrated methods for breeding the old roots of Clivia, as a reference and suggestion.
