Does Clivia need to be watered before it sprouts? What is the relationship between the sprouting time of Clivia after cutting?

Clivia belongs to the Amaryllis family, and its root system is a thick fleshy bulb. Because plants have the advantage of top growth, the purpose of "truncation" is to promote the germination of lateral buds and tillers. Many flower lovers plant Clivia and water it before it sprouts. This is wrong. What is the relationship between germination time and truncation? Let's take a look at the following content for details!

Does Clivia need watering if it has not sprouted?

Don't water it before it sprouts. Problems will easily arise after watering, it will easily rot, etc. There are risks in beheading, and the risks are very high. It is recommended for novices not to behead it. If it really doesn't work, then behead it. If it really doesn't work, it will dry up without watering, you can water it with some carbendazim solution, water it less on the edge of the pot, spray some fungicide, water it with some fungicide water, to kill the harmful bacteria in the soil, you need to use two fungicides alternately. I don't grow many Clivia, only ten pots, and Clivia cannot live without people. Once it leaves people, problems will easily arise.

What is the relationship between the germination time of the group orchid after cutting?

The time for Clivia to sprout after cutting is directly related to "cutting with remaining leaves or cutting with bare leaves". The conditions for the sprouting of new buds of Clivia are "direct supply of light, temperature and nutrients". When the leaves are still there, photosynthesis can be used to produce the nutrients needed for the sprouting of new buds. Under such conditions, the sprouting of new buds can be generated in up to 3 months. The premise is that the root system must be intact.

On the contrary, the roots are intact after naked cutting, but there are no leaves to absorb light and cause injuries. Only the roots remain in the shady soil to slowly sprout. In this environment, it takes a long time for new buds to sprout, at least half a year and at most one month.

What are the ways to improve the flowering of Clivia?

You can use clean water to wash the leaves at ordinary times, which can promote the germination of flower buds. During the bud formation period, you must add potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer in time to avoid the formation of dumb buds and keep the soil loose and breathable. It is a common phenomenon for Clivia that the flower stem is difficult to pull out. As long as you supplement nutrients in time and get more than 7 hours of sunshine, you can bloom large flowers.
