How to transplant Clivia

Clivia propagation

There are currently two main methods of propagation for Clivia, namely division propagation and sowing propagation. Either of these two methods can be used to grow it.

The best time to transplant Clivia is from March to May. Generally, Clivia that grows from the roots of the mother plant is not suitable for division when it is just starting to grow. The best time to divide is to wait until at least three leaves have grown from the small buds.

Clivia transplantation method

Division treatment : To take the separated Clivia out of the pot, you can use a utility knife to dig out some of the surrounding soil, and then use the utility knife to cut the connection between the plant and the mother plant at the glued place, and then you can divide the plant.

Disinfection : After cutting the Clivia, apply disinfectant to the cut and place it in a cool place to dry it. If you cut the grass with the soil, you can use plant ash for disinfection, or you can carry some plant ash with the grass as nutrients to promote root growth after transplanting.

Planting in a pot : After the wound of the Clivia has dried, we can bring the soil into the pot and plant it. In order to plant it, we prepared a pot of fertile, loose, well-drained and breathable soil. After watering, you can place it in a cool place.

Transplantation:

1. Prepare the flower pot and medium soil, and it is best to disinfect them. Prepare a small amount of charcoal powder and apply it on the wound to absorb moisture to prevent rot. First, take the mother plant of Clivia out of the pot, remove the old soil, and find the buds to divide.

2. On the cut Clivia seedlings, immediately apply dry charcoal powder to the wound to absorb the liquid and prevent rot. Then plant the seedlings in pots. The planting depth should be based on burying the pseudobulb at the base of the seedlings. The part close to the seedlings should be slightly higher and covered with sterilized sand.

3. Immediately after planting, water the Clivia thoroughly. After the wound heals for 2 weeks, pour another layer of culture soil. Under normal circumstances, it will take root in January and February and bloom in January and February.

Repotting: Clivia repotting is usually done in spring and autumn. First prepare new soil and a new pot, remove the plant, remove the soil, trim the roots, and then pot it. Hold the Clivia with one hand and fill it with soil with the other. Then water it thoroughly and keep it in a cool and ventilated place.

Transplanting hydroponic Clivia: Pour the Clivia out of the pot and shake off the soil. If they are not growing together, you can tear them apart by hand. If they are conjoined, they need to be cut with a knife. Be careful to make the incision as small as possible. The incision should be dried in semi-shade for two days before planting it in the pot.

Transplanting of soil-grown Clivia: You need to be careful when watering the newly transplanted Clivia. If the root wound is not dry before the plant enters the soil, you need to wait two days before watering. If it is dried before being potted, you can water it thoroughly at once.

Precautions for transplanting Clivia

The newly transplanted Clivia cannot see the sun immediately, and needs to be placed in a ventilated and shaded place. In terms of fertilization, it is necessary to suspend fertilization and start normal management after it is completely absorbed.
