The leaves of Clivia are growing one by one. If cultivated well, the leaves will be wide, thick and shiny. The leaves on both sides will grow in the same direction, and there will be no big difference in size and growth. If we want to ensure the growth of Clivia leaves, we need to start from the daily maintenance and give it regular rotation direction.
Because Clivia is particularly sensitive to light during its growth, the leaves on the sunny side will grow faster and larger than those on the shady side. If we put the Clivia in the wrong place, it will appear that when the leaves grow, one side is short and the other side is long. At this time, we need to put the Clivia correctly!
Generally, when we place the Clivia, we try to ensure the north-south direction rather than the east-west direction. Because it is better to receive the light when it is placed in the north-south direction, and the light quantity is more even, so the leaves of Clivia will slowly grow in one direction. In addition, we'd better turn the basin regularly, about once a week, so that the leaves grow more evenly.
Of course, if the leaves of your Clivia are long and crooked, then we can shade the fast growing side and let the short one grow first, so that it can slowly return to normal growth.
In addition to the light, we should also pay more attention to watering and fertilizing when we usually care for Clivia:
Water: the Clivia itself is the fleshy root. It's because of too much water. When we water the Clivia, we'd better use one-time watering. In winter, we should reduce the watering amount. When necessary, we can spray water mist to increase the humidity.
Fertilization: during the growth of Clivia, it can supplement some thin fertilizer water properly, not too much, so as to avoid root rot. Now in this season, don't fertilize Clivia any more, otherwise the nutrients won't be absorbed, and the reaction will be caused.
