Winter is the growth period of Clivia, which needs sufficient light, but it can not accept long-term direct sunlight, and it needs bright scattered light. When indoor maintenance, it can be placed in a bright living room or window to ensure that there is light. Clivia has a strong light chasing feature, its tip will face the direction of the source of light, so each turn basin should be in a 180 degree direction, so the leaves will grow symmetrically on both sides.
This kind of plant needs to be maintained indoors in winter, because it can grow normally under the temperature of about 10-15 degrees, and can accept the low temperature for a period of time. It can also accept the temperature below zero degree occasionally, but frostbite will occur if the temperature is low for a long time or below zero degree, so pay attention to avoid
Sometimes in order to promote the flowering of plants, we can deliberately create a period of low temperature from late autumn to early winter, which is about 5 degrees, which is more conducive to the flowering of Clivia. When the plant has already gestated the flower bud, we suggest to control the temperature at about 15-18 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the arrow will appear. If the temperature is too high, the arrow may appear weak, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant.
In winter, water should be properly controlled to reduce water volume and keep the soil surface slightly dry. The growth period needs to be properly fertilized. Every 10 days or so, give the monarch orchid a thin nitrogen fertilizer, such as the all element compound fertilizer dissolved in the water, or our self-made organic fertilizer. Master a principle, apply the thin fertilizer frequently, many times, a small amount each time, so that the monarch orchid can grow normally.
