Do I need to water the newly planted Clivia?

1. Should the newly planted Clivia be watered?

It is best not to water the newly planted Clivia for the time being. Because the roots of newly planted plants are still relatively fragile and are in the process of adapting to the new environment, they cannot absorb much water in time. If the amount of water is not controlled well and exceeds the absorption capacity of the roots, the soil in the pot will be too moist, which is not conducive to the newly planted plants adapting to the new growth environment. It needs to be watered after at least a week. During this period, you can use a watering can to spray it with water to replenish some moisture.

2. Maintenance methods for newly planted Clivia

Appropriate amount of light: Clivia is sensitive to sunlight and should not be exposed to too much light, otherwise the plant will easily be sunburned. But if there is too little light, it will become wilted and its growth will slow down. Because it is necessary to maintain an appropriate amount of light, it can be maintained in a place with better light indoors so that it can get certain light in the morning and evening.

Appropriate amount of water: When watering Clivia, you must control the amount of water, not too much or too little. You need to follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and watering when it is wet. In spring and autumn, you can water it every three to five days, in summer you can water it once every one or two days, and in winter you can water it once a week.

Temperature: The suitable temperature for Clivia growth is between fifteen and twenty-two degrees Celsius. If the temperature exceeds 32 degrees Celsius in summer, you must pay attention to shading and cooling. In winter, the temperature cannot be lower than 5 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will freeze to death.

Fertilization: Fertilize Clivia in appropriate amount and concentration. Every ten to fifteen days, you can apply diluted phosphorus fertilizer to the roots of the Clivia.
