How long after repotting can I fertilize Clivia? How to fertilize and what kind of fertilizer is good?

1. How long after repotting can you fertilize?

Do not apply fertilizer immediately after repotting the Clivia, because its roots do not have the ability to absorb nutrients. You have to wait until it has adapted to the pot before applying fertilizer. Generally speaking, even if the plant acclimates to the pot, it will take about a week, so you can apply fertilizer at least a week later. However, sometimes it takes longer for the plant to adapt to the pot, so fertilizing should be done after it has adapted to the pot.

2. Maintenance after repotting

1. Sunlight: After just changing the pot, place it in a shaded dark place and keep it away from sunlight. Wait until it has grown into a seedling before it can be exposed to sunlight. But it should be noted that you cannot expose yourself to strong sunlight immediately. You should gradually increase the intensity of the light and accept the astigmatism first.

2. Temperature: Temperature regulation is also very important after repotting. The temperature needs to be adjusted to around 15-20℃. At night, the temperature should not be too low, it should be between 10-15℃. If the temperature difference is too large, it will also affect its acclimatization.

3. How to fertilize

When repotting, add base fertilizer to the soil. After it adapts to the new potting soil environment, you can apply it once every half a month or a month. Fertilizers can be animal manure, compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer. Please note that no matter when you apply fertilizer, you cannot use raw fertilizer or concentrated fertilizer as they will burn the roots of the plant.
