Flower clivia It is a house plant that originated in South Africa. The leaves her look like a fountain seeping out of vases. The belt leaves in pairs, symmetrically grow situated thickened fleshy roots.
The leaves always green, and in the spring we entertains rate that can be high I make 80 centimeters on which pops occur trumpet flowers of white, orange, red color BSG-striped.
She needs a lot of light, do not, DO NOT tolerate the sun. Generally better manage the Northern or Eastern Pages (much light, it can only morning sun Poor). He does not like to move from place to place.
Wintering be carried out at a temperature of about 8-12 degrees, and when the buds begin to emerge temperature should increase to 15-18 degrees in order to stalk and flower do Theft developed.
The most frequent mistake in growing watering, does not like a lot of water. While idle land should be maintained barely damp, watered only every two weeks, maybe even less often (touch the ground and tck When it is dry watered) and never leave the water in the washer. Before flowering can be a little spray on the leaves, and watering during the hot days to spend once a week.
Every 2 Weeks Is should save during growth, not when he does time sleep, when to stop the growth of leaves, sometime in July, stop supplemental feeding.
After flowering is necessary to remove the flower heads so the plant would not have loads force the maturation of seeds, because then the next year will not flourish.
By growing from seed to lose the characteristics of the parent plant, and the first flowers should take three years. When all the flowers and ocvatu rate begins to dry, cut off the bottom.
Usually after flowering forth shoots. They may be left to live with "mom" and so will a few years incur large shrub with lots of flowers and leaves or can be separated from the mother plant.
The separation from the mother plant to do when a young plant has at least 4 sheets and when the roots developed, because otherwise it will not "accept". Sapling should be planted in a mixture of peat and sand, and later when he formed slightly thickened root in an ordinary mix of soil for potted plants.
These houseplants need to replant every year until the plants are young, but later, when the plant is older and in a larger pot, just replace the topsoil. He likes to otherwise be in a tight flower pot but always transplant in just a little bigger. This is done after flowering.
