How to change the soil of Clivia? The best time and method to change the pot and soil

Spring is the best time to grow flowers and change soil, because the survival rate of flowers in spring is relatively high. It is very important to choose the best time to change the soil for Clivia. After a period of care, the soil of Clivia becomes compacted and the nutrients are depleted. Therefore, repotting can make Clivia grow better and revitalize it.

It is suitable to change the soil for Clivia in March-April and September-November every year . The climate at this time is relatively warm, the light is weaker, and the air has a higher humidity, which is in line with the growth habits of Clivia, so the plant can adapt to the pot as soon as possible.

Clivia soil changing method

1. Prepare the soil

  Clivia likes loose and fertile soil. If you prepare it yourself, you can add rotten leaves, pine needles, sawdust, rotten bark and other things to the soil. This can enhance the soil's air permeability and drainage.

2. Suitable pots

  A suitable pot is particularly important for Clivia. If the pot is too small and the plant is too large, it may cause the plant to be undernourished and the roots to develop incompletely. If the pot is too large and the plant is too small, the roots will rot. If you still want to use an old pot, you can place it in the sun for disinfection.

3. Soil replacement method

  Tap the outer wall of the Clivia pot to separate the soil and the pot, then take out the Clivia together with the soil, remove the old soil on the Clivia, cut off the rotten roots and empty roots on the plant, then plant it in the soil and pat the soil firm with your hands.

Things to note when changing soil for Clivia

1. Provide light: After changing the soil, the Clivia needs to be placed in a semi-shaded environment first to prevent the plant from being exposed to strong light. After the Clivia is fully adapted to the pot, move it to a ventilated and well-lit place to provide the plant with scattered light throughout the day to promote normal growth of the Clivia.

2. Replenish water: In the process of maintaining Clivia, you need to observe the changes in the soil. When you find tiny cracks on the soil surface, you need to water the Clivia immediately to keep the inside of the soil moist. Note that when the air is hot, you also need to spray water mist on the leaves of the Clivia.
