Can Clivia be repotted in winter?

1. Is it possible?

Changing the pot and soil of Clivia at the right time during maintenance can promote its growth, speed up its growth rate and make it grow more vigorously. It is usually done in spring and autumn, when the temperature is suitable and the plant can recover quickly after repotting. You can also change it in winter, but it will affect growth. Because the flower buds are just forming at this time and the temperature is low, it will lead to poor flowering or even no flowering, so it is best not to change it in winter.

2. Precautions for changing pots

1. Cut off water in advance: If you plan to repot the plant, cut off water three to five days in advance. This will make it easier to remove from the pot and reduce damage to the root system.

2. Prune the roots: When repotting, cut off old roots, diseased roots, dead roots, rotten roots and other roots that do not need to be retained, so as to reduce nutrient consumption. However, the wound must be dried before planting to avoid infection.

3. Keep the original soil: When repotting Clivia, do not remove all the original soil, otherwise it will take a long time to adapt. In addition, retaining some of the original soil will not harm the root system, about one third will be enough.
