1. Should I water the repotted Clivia?

It is best not to water the Clivia that has been repotted. Because the roots of the Clivia are still relatively fragile after being repotted, if the amount of watering is not controlled well, water will accumulate in the potting soil, and the roots will not be able to absorb it in time, which will cause root rot. Moreover, too much water in the potting soil is not conducive to the plant adapting to the new environment. So you can choose to use a spray bottle to spray some clean water on the potting soil to keep the potting soil slightly moist but not damp.

2. How to care for the newly repotted Clivia

Watering method: Do not water it just after moving the pot. If the soil around the roots is moist after repotting, there is no need to water. If the roots are trimmed when repotting, do not water immediately as the wound may become infected. If necessary, spray water on the surface of the potting soil. After a week, when the Clivia has almost adapted to the new environment, you can water it thoroughly at once, but still be careful to avoid water accumulation. Also, be careful not to let water splash onto the leaf core, as this will cause the leaf core to rot. When watering, pour slowly along the edge of the pot.

Maintenance environment: The Clivia that has just been repotted cannot accept direct sunlight, which will cause the moisture in the potting soil to be lost quickly. Therefore, it should be maintained in a well-ventilated and cool environment first. After it resumes growth, it should be moved to a place with certain scattered light for maintenance.
