When is the best time to buy Clivia seedlings? Is it easy for Clivia to survive after grafting?

Clivia is very common in our daily life, because it is large and thick. It has a high ornamental value, and almost every flower grower has one or two pots at home. So when is the right time to buy Clivia seedlings? Is it easy for Clivia to survive after grafting? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

When is the best time to buy Clivia seedlings?

If we talk about the most suitable season, it would be spring and autumn. Spring and autumn are the fastest growing seasons. After buying them in these two seasons, whether you keep them indoors or outdoors, the ventilation effect will be good after repotting. If you plant them directly after repotting, they will grow quickly. So if you want to buy Clivia and want to increase its survival rate, it is best to buy it in spring and autumn.

Is it easy for Clivia to survive after grafting?

Clivia cannot be grafted because its stem is very short, the leaves grow from the center to both sides and the roots are very close to the stem, so it is difficult to cut it into scions. If you accidentally cut the leaves or cut the leaf buds, the buds will fall apart and there will be no flat grafting surface for grafting.

How to distinguish the quality of Clivia

First of all, the vein pattern. Many orchid growers pay attention to the cultivation of vein patterns. The vein patterns are raised, the height of the horizontal and vertical patterns is consistent, the nodes of each leaf are consistent, the nodes are open, and the patterns are locked. Therefore, when the Changchun Clivia Association evaluates the score of a Clivia, the vein pattern accounts for 24 points. The main reason is that other indicators can be well cultivated, but only the vein pattern is unstable.

The second is fineness. Fineness means that the leaves of Clivia feel oily and feel like baby's skin when you touch them with your hands.

The third is brightness. Waxy or oily brightness are the best.

The fourth is to look at the color difference ratio of the leaves. The greater the color difference, the better.

Fifth, the leaf surface is straight and has no scoop.

The above five points are the main ones. Other factors like seat shape, head shape, plant shape, height, thickness, and leaf width ratio vary from person to person and everyone has their own preferences.
