How to repot Clivia, and what to pay attention to when repotting Clivia

1. Time to change pots

Clivia repotting is usually done in spring or autumn. Summer is its flowering season. Repotting may cause buds and flowers to fall off, and the high temperature and high humidity climate is not conducive to recovery. The temperature is too low in winter, and it will be difficult for the plants to survive after repotting, which will also affect their growth.

2. Stop water and remove basin

Before preparing the pot for the Clivia, you need to stop watering for a few days. This will allow the soil to gradually dry out, making it easier to remove the pot. When removing the flower from the pot, loosen the surrounding soil first, especially the inner wall of the pot. After loosening the soil, hold the plant by the stem and gently remove it.

3. Check the roots

After removing the Clivia from the pot, you need to check its roots. Old and dead roots must be cut off in time, and rotten parts must also be cut off. After cutting the roots, you can spray or apply a little carbendazim, which can play a disinfecting role and prevent wound infection.

4. Soil Preparation

Mix leaf mold, coniferous leaves, river sand and compost to prepare potting soil, with the ratio of the four being 6:2:1:1. A well-mixed potting soil has good drainage, which can prevent the roots from being flooded. The soil must also have a certain degree of fertility to ensure that it can provide nutrients for plant growth.

5. Planting in pots

Find a flowerpot of suitable size, fill a little potting soil at the bottom, place the plant in the flowerpot, and fill it up with potting soil. During the soil filling process, you can lift it up appropriately to promote the fit between the roots and the soil, which helps the plant adapt to the pot.
