How often should I water Clivia?

Watering Clivia is a very important maintenance step. If you are afraid that you cannot control the amount of water, you can choose to water it directly in the chassis underneath it. In this way, the roots of the Clivia will automatically absorb water. After waiting for a while, if you find that the water in the chassis is no longer decreasing, it means that the watering is completed and you can pour out the remaining water in the chassis.

How often should I water Clivia?

The watering interval of Clivia is not very fixed, and it mainly depends on the actual situation. Generally speaking, it is best to wait until the soil in the flowerpot is dry before watering. Because if the roots of Clivia are soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to rot. If you can't judge the dryness of the soil, you can prepare a longer bamboo chopstick, insert the bamboo chopstick into the soil before watering and then pull it out, you can observe the dryness and wetness of the soil.

The time to water Clivia should be determined according to the size of the flowerpot. Generally speaking, as long as water flows out from the bottom of the flowerpot, it is watered enough. If it is summer, you can water it more above that.

What kind of water is good for Clivia

Clivia can be watered with rainwater or snow water, because this kind of water contains almost no minerals and can promote the roots of Clivia to absorb water. It can also be watered with groundwater that has been exposed to the sun for a few days, or a magnet can be placed in the water. After standing overnight, you can get magnetized water. Using it to water the flowers can promote metabolism and prevent leaf spot disease.

Key points for watering Clivia

It is not suitable to water Clivia when the temperature around it becomes too high or too low, because too high temperature will cause the temperature of the soil where the Clivia is rooted to drop sharply, and at the same time weaken its root system's ability to absorb water. In severe cases, it will cause the Clivia to wilt and wither. If the temperature is too low, the water poured in will not only not be absorbed, but will also cause root rot.
