How to fertilize Bush Lily

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil itās likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Bush Lily after it doubles in size or once a yearāwhichever comes first.

Whatās up with my Clivia? I got it from my mumās house 1 month ago because it was starving, i cleaned the bad leaves, i have taken so much care of her, but thia week it has started again to turn like this. Maybe it needs new soil with more nutrients? I think the soil is really wasted. I donāt think is any plague cause itās near others and itās not happening the same with the otherās around it

Mushroom in my bush lily pot! So yesterday, I was inspecting my bush lilly and saw a speck of mold (a bit green and had light fuzz) growing on the surface of the soil. I kind of panicked and used gloves to take it out along with some of the soil it was growing on. Today, I inspected the plant again and found a full on mushroom growing in the same spot! I did some research and mostly found that this isnāt a bad thing and is likely due to over watering and a humid environment (I had my dad water the plant over the last week and I believe thatās where this happened), but I wanted to be sure it wasnāt anything dangerous to allow to grow in my home! I donāt have any pets that could get into it so thatās not of concern. TLDR: Mushroom growing in my plant pot, is it safe to leave or should I repot?

Clivia flower tips? buds spotted among the leaves My clivia has buds on it after 4 years!š (Itās been an office plant and has had 3 different offshoots instead of flowers) I was planning on not watering it until next year to trigger a flower when I found this! I think now that itās here itās best to water it as normal to help the flower stalk elongate, but Iām not positive on that? These flowers have always been elusive and mysterious to me LOL If anyone has any tips for getting this to shoot up pls let me know. If I keep it in the office I have more control over water and light (I can buy it a grow light) or I can take it home and have control over everything including temperature, just not sure if the transport will stress it out to much. It was repotted on 11/4 and given a good soak, and last watered 11/15 #BushLily #Clivia #flowerbuds #TipsandTricks
