Friends who like Clivia should know that the quality of the leaves of Clivia is very important to Clivia. Some varieties of Clivia are particularly prone to skewing, which is most likely caused by insufficient uniform lighting. So how should we prevent and control the skewed leaves of Clivia and make the Clivia grow more beautiful?

Clivia

1. Regularly adjust the direction of the flowerpot. Clivia flower pots should be rotated 180° regularly. The rotation period is about 7 days in the season of vigorous growth and about 10 days in the season of slow growth.

2. For Clivia plants that have uneven leaves, mechanical shaping and light shaping methods can be used to regulate them.

1. Mechanical shaping: One is to use a small clip to clamp the skewed blade with the adjacent straight blade (note that the clamped part should be padded with soft paper to prevent the blade from being pinched) , after a period of time the crooked blades can basically return to their normal position. Another method is to bend two bamboo strips of the same length and thickness into a bow shape, and then insert them into the inner edge of the flower pot along both sides of the fan-shaped leaves of Clivia to form a clamping force. If the strength is insufficient, tie them between the two bamboo strips. On the string.

It should be noted that mechanical shaping can easily cause the blades to break or be damaged, so be extra careful during operation.

2. Light shaping: Cut the opaque cigarette tin foil (other opaque thick paper is also acceptable) to a length and width that are basically consistent with the blades, then fold it in half lengthwise from the middle to cover half of the blades that are pulled diagonally by the sunlight. , and then use transparent tape to stick the tin foil to the front and back sides of the blade. After 10 to 15 days, the crooked leaves will be corrected. This method will not damage the blades and is simple and practical.

It should be noted that when the center line of the corrected blade is basically consistent with other blades, the wrapped tin foil should be removed in time, otherwise over-correction will occur.
