What is the best soil for Clivia and how to configure the soil

1. What kind of soil is best?

1. Leaf mold: The most suitable soil for growing Clivia is the leaf mold of rubber tree. It contains very comprehensive nutrients and the acidity is also suitable for plant growth. Using this kind of soil can make the leaves of the plant oilier and shinier, and the growth condition is also very good.

2. Pine needle soil: It is also a very good leaf mold, and most flower markets currently use this kind of soil. It contains rich trace elements, and there is no need to apply fertilizer containing this element within a few months after planting.

3. River sand: The plant likes loose soil, and river sand is very suitable. Because the plant has fleshy roots, the soil must have good air permeability.

2. Methods of soil preparation

The soil for growing Clivia should also have higher air permeability, and it is best if it contains humus. You can use leaf mold, pine needle soil, and river sand in a ratio of 6:2:1. If there is no river sand, you can also replace it with furnace ash, mainly to enhance the air permeability and drainage of the soil. In order to provide sufficient nutrition to maintain plant growth, some base fertilizer can be added to the prepared soil.
