How to water Clivia thoroughly? What to do if you water too much?

1. How to water Clivia thoroughly

1. When watering Clivia, pay attention to the principle of watering it when it is half dry and watering it as thoroughly as possible. But you can't water as soon as you see the soil surface is dry. Otherwise, if the soil is damp and muddy for a long time, it is easy for the roots to rot and the leaves to become dark yellow and dull.

2. When watering, be careful not to let water enter the center of the leaves, otherwise the leaves will easily rot.

3. You can use the immersion method for watering: find a basin larger than the Clivia pot, put the Clivia pot in it and fill it with water, let the Clivia absorb water through the drainage holes of the pot. This way the watering effect is better, the soil is not easy to become hardened, and the water retention and water locking properties are much better than direct watering, but the disadvantage is that it takes a little longer.

2. What to do if you water Clivia too much?

The leaves of Clivia are broad, soft and tender, but they grow slowly. The roots do not absorb much water, but the leaves evaporate a lot of water. Therefore, remember not to water Clivia too much, otherwise the roots will wither and shrink, the leaves will be thin and flat, the leaf surface will be dull and lifeless, and in severe cases, they may turn yellow. If you overwater, you can use the following methods:

1. Generally, there are drainage holes at the bottom of the Clivia flower pot, and the water will drain out from the bottom, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. If the bottom is still very moist after drainage, it should be moved outdoors immediately, placed in direct sunlight and well ventilated to allow the moisture to evaporate as quickly as possible.

3. You can also pour out the soil in the pot and expose it to the sun, and then plant it back into the pot after the soil becomes soft.
