What is the best soil for growing Clivia? How to configure the best soil for potted Clivia?

What kind of soil does Clivia like?

  Clivia particularly likes high-quality loose humus soil , especially the soil that has very good air permeability and drainage , and is slightly acidic . Such soil has good drainage and air permeability, is not easy to accumulate water, and is not easy to damage the root system, which is very suitable for Clivia to thrive.

  At the same time, it is important to note that Clivia does not like soil that is too sticky . If you water too much, such soil will not drain quickly and will easily accumulate water. This will affect the normal breathing of Clivia and cause the roots to rot and the leaves to fall. In severe cases, the roots may even rot and the plant may die.

How to prepare soil for potted Clivia

1. Pine Needle Soil

Pine needle soil is one of the most commonly used soils for growing flowers and plants. It is known as the "universal organic fertilizer" and is suitable for the growth of many flowers and plants. It is fertile, loose and breathable, and is a rare high-quality slightly acidic soil. Of course, it is also the high-quality soil that Clivia likes.

Production method : Pine trees are evergreen and are common trees planted for greening. Whether in cities or rural areas, mountains or plains, pine trees can be found everywhere. Its collection and production are very convenient and can be completed in one go.

2. Mixture of pine needle soil and sandy soil

This type of soil is mostly used in our daily growth of flowers and plants.

Preparation method : The preparation method is convenient and can be completed anytime and anywhere. Mix the prepared humus pine needle soil with sandy soil, usually in a ratio of 1:1, and mix evenly , then it can be used normally.

3. Leaf humus is the main component, and particulate matter is the auxiliary component

Leaf mold is fertile, loose and breathable, making it very suitable for the growth of Clivia.

Production method : The most common is oak leaves, which are wide and have good humus properties. They are a very rare and high-quality leaf humus. In addition, you can add some coarse granular substances, such as pine needles, peanut shells, bark, walnut skins, etc. You can choose any one or two and ferment them with oak leaves or other leaves.

4. Coconut peat, perlite and pine needle soil

I often prepare this kind of soil myself. The method is very simple and easy to operate. Coconut peat has good water permeability, perlite increases air permeability, and pine needle soil is high-quality and fertile. The combination of the three is high-quality and efficient.

Preparation method: Mix coconut bran, perlite and pine needle soil evenly. Usually, mix them in a ratio of 5:3:1 to achieve an organic combination of water permeability, air permeability and soil quality. Such a soil mixture can achieve high-quality looseness and long-lasting effect, which is very suitable for Clivia.
