When is the best time to change the soil and pot of Clivia (how to care for Clivia after repotting)

First, the time to change the soil of Clivia:

The best time to repot and change the soil for Clivia is in spring and autumn . If the Clivia has been growing for more than 5 years and has 6 to 7 pairs of leaves, it is recommended to repot it in spring. Repotting in autumn may delay the flowering period .

In spring, after the Clivia has finished blooming, about a month later, the temperature reaches around 20 degrees Celsius, which is the best time to repot.

Second, how to remove Clivia from the pot:

Before removing the pot, limit water for a few days, and the volume of the flower soil will shrink slightly. Put the Clivia pot on the ground, and then use a small flower shovel to pound the flower soil along the wall of the pot.

After pounding off about 1/3 of the planting material, you can pull out the soil ball of the Clivia. Then rinse off the planting material with tap water until all the roots are exposed.

Third, Clivia root treatment:

First of all, we need to cut off all the dead and empty roots of Clivia. Then shorten and prune the long branches, and finally properly comb and thin out the dense and tangled roots.

After pruning the roots, spray the roots with 800 carbendazim solution for 3 times with a half-hour interval each time. Then put the Clivia in a cool and ventilated place and let the root wounds dry for 48 hours. The root wounds will shrink slightly, so plant them after they are dry.

Fourth, Clivia planting material mixing method:

Clivia has a thick root system with a strong respiratory function. When mixing the planting material, it is important to emphasize air permeability.

The roots of Clivia are extremely afraid of waterlogging, and drainage is also important. The pH value that the roots adapt to grow in is acidic.

When mixing planting materials, it is recommended to mix 1/3 of garden soil + humus soil + freshwater river sand, then add 1/5 of completely rotten wood chips and 1/5 of perlite.

Fifth, maintenance and management of Clivia after repotting:

After repotting the Clivia, first move the pot to a cool and ventilated place. Do not water it to fix the roots yet. Spray the leaves and the shallow surface of the planting material several times a day to moisten the leaves and humidify the environment. Water it thoroughly on the third day.

After a week, if the leaves do not droop and remain shiny, you can move the pot to receive scattered light and increase photosynthesis in time. After 20 days of repotting in spring, the Clivia can be maintained in a location with sufficient light.

Sixth, watering method after repotting Clivia:

Do not water the newly potted Clivia. Water it after the third day. Spray the planting material and leaves every day. Watering in the later period should wait until the surface of the planting material is dry, and extend the watering time by about 3 days.

In the watering method of "don't water unless it's dry, and water thoroughly when it's dry", you can be flexible and wait until the planting material is completely dry before watering. However, you must maintain 3 to 5 sprays a day.
