1. Increase light: Clivia miniata is a plant that likes half shade, but liking half shade does not mean that it does not see light. If you want it to blossom, you must provide appropriate light.Its own short-day characteristics determine that it can not receive light for a long time, otherwise it will affect the formation of buds, providing 6-8 hours of light every day, and not more than 2 hours in summer high temperature season.
2. Temperature control: Clivia miniata is suitable for growing in warm environment, so is flowering.If the temperature is too high, the plant will enter a semi-dormant state, at this time the flower arrow may not grow out, naturally can not blossom.If the temperature is too low, the plant will be easily frostbitten, which will also affect its flowering, and the general temperature should be controlled at about 20 C.
