There is no fixed dormancy time and month for Clivia. Generally, when the temperature rises to a certain degree, it will automatically start dormancy. Summer is the most accurate dormancy time of Clivia. At this time, the strong light becomes the most important factor in the dormancy period of the Clivia, and the breeders should shade the Clivia at this time.
One way is to move the Clivia potted plant to the place where only the morning and evening can receive the sunshine. The scattered light environment of the flower cluster can also be used. When summer comes, look for a bright place with light but no sunlight. Another method is to build a shade over the Clivia flowerpot and a light blocking frame to block the light, roll it up in the morning and evening, and put it down when the sun comes out
High temperature heat can be said to be the second harms of Clivia. The simplest way to deal with this problem is to use physical cooling to spray the cooling water on the leaves of the Clivia under the hottest temperature at noon. You can also place a water filled basin near the Clivia potting to increase the ambient air humidity. Then put the plant in the air unimpeded environment, play the role of evacuating plant heat
During the dormancy period, the growth of Clivia stopped, and the water and fertilizer should be reduced accordingly. One is to reduce water content and prevent root rot. Another is to stop the use of fertilizer, otherwise it will cause root damage.
