Cultivating Flowers Comprehensive Guide
1
Warm Water Soaking Method
A large part of the reason for the Clivia miniata's flower spike being pinched is due to too small a temperature difference, as is usually the case with flower enthusiasts in Guangdong, where Clivia miniata does not bloom. Therefore, increasing the temperature difference can promote the differentiation of flower buds in Clivia miniata and prevent pinching.
How to do it specifically?
1. During the warm daytime, prepare a basin of warm water at 38-40°C, and then place the entire Clivia miniata into the warm water until the outside of the pot heats up, then take it out.
2. At night, you can place the Clivia miniata on a balcony, windowsill, or other cooler places, but make sure the temperature by the window is above 8°C.
3. The warm water soaking method increases the temperature, causing the Clivia miniata's growth rate to stall, thereby reducing nutrient consumption, while the huge temperature difference between day and night helps the Clivia miniata accumulate nutrients, allowing it to bloom without pinching.

Root Drying Method
The Clivia miniata's flower spike may be pinched due to all nutrients being supplied to the leaf growth, resulting in insufficient nutrients to support flowering. In this case, we can use the root drying method to solve this problem.
How to do it specifically?
1. If the Clivia miniata's flower spike is pinched, we can remove the plant from the pot, take the Clivia miniata's roots out of the pot, shake off the old soil from the roots, and then place the roots downward in the pot to dry them.
2. After about 2-3 days, when the Clivia miniata's roots start to soften a bit, discard half of the old soil in the pot and add half of the nutrient-rich new soil, then put the Clivia miniata with dried roots back into the pot. Before long, you will see the Clivia miniata's flower spike emerge and bloom slowly!
