For Clivia Miniata with 12 full leaves, it is recommended to apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering, such as using special flowering fertilizers for orchids, once every 10 days, to promote early flower spike formation.
Note that Clivia Miniata requires a temperature difference of about 10 degrees between day and night to quickly form flower spikes, reducing the risk of arrow entrapment. In an environment with obvious day-night temperature differences, the flowers are more full and the colors more vibrant.
