What to do if Clivia is frozen to death? How to survive the winter in Clivia

Clivia is very common in our daily life. It is large and thick. It has a high ornamental value. Almost every flower grower has one or two pots at home. So what should we do if Clivia freezes to death? How does Clivia survive the winter? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

What to do if Clivia freezes to death

If the roots are dead, the whole Clivia can't be used. If only part of the roots are damaged, the dead roots and leaves can be cut off, and the remaining parts can be disinfected with potassium permanganate solution, and then dried and replanted. As for whether it can be saved in the end, the temperature is the key. The temperature difference between day and night should not be too large. It is best to be up to 20℃ during the day, and the lowest temperature at night should not be lower than 15℃, otherwise it will not be easy to survive.

How does Clivia survive the winter?

The first thing is temperature control. Because the weather is relatively cold in winter, we need to take good cold-proof measures. Clivia is not cold-resistant, so we need to keep the temperature at 15-20 degrees. If it is too low, it is easy to cause frost damage.

The second is water control. Because the temperature is low in winter, the evaporation of water is relatively slow. In addition, Clivia does not like water, so the application of water should be controlled at ordinary times. Generally, it is enough to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Too little or too much water will affect flowering.

The second is the supply of fertilizer. Because it is about to enter the flowering period, the supply of fertilizer is also the key to whether it can bloom. So how to fertilize at this time? Now we need to add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which can better promote the differentiation of flower buds.

The last thing is to control the light. Although Clivia does not like strong light, it needs sufficient light before and after the flowering period. Therefore, it is best to place it on a south-facing balcony or window at this time. If there is too little light, it will affect the blooming of the flowers.

Precautions for Clivia maintenance in winter

1. After the Descent of Frost, Clivia in the north must not be kept outdoors.

2. As long as the temperature on the balcony is not lower than 5 degrees at night, you can overwinter on the balcony.

3. To prevent Clivia from getting stuck and maintain a sufficient temperature difference, Clivia should not be cultivated in a heated room. In particular, it should not be cultivated on the balcony during the day and in the room at night, as the temperature is low during the day and high at night, which is not conducive to the germination of flower buds.

4. Ensure that the Clivia is exposed to light for about four hours. Similarly, the light exposure time at night should not be too long.

5. Strictly control watering, especially when encountering low temperature and cloudy weather. The potting soil must not be too wet.

6. Stop fertilizing when the temperature is below 15 degrees.
