When is the best time to transplant Clivia?

Before transplanting Clivia, be sure to choose a suitable pot for it first. Don't choose a pot that is too large, otherwise the Clivia will only grow roots but not bloom, or even leaves. This is because Clivia has a characteristic that it grows roots first during its growth process, and then it supplies nutrients to grow leaves and flowers after the roots fill the pot. Therefore, choosing a small pot can ensure that its leaves grow more and the flowers bloom well.

Clivia transplanting time

The survival rate of Clivia is highest when it is transplanted in May and June. It is best not to advance or delay the transplanting time. In this way, 2-3 months after transplanting, the seedlings should grow 2 leaves and the height will grow to about 5-6 cm. The most suitable growth temperature for Clivia is between 20-25℃. The temperature and humidity in May and June are very suitable for the growth of Clivia, allowing it to adapt to the pot quickly after transplanting.

Clivia transplanting method

First of all, do not water the Clivia one week before transplanting it, and keep the soil at the roots in a semi-dry state. When transplanting, choose a good day with sunny weather, then dig out the Clivia, gently remove the soil at the roots, and cut off all its rotten roots and dead roots. This can stimulate the growth of new roots. Then wash the roots with clean water, place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then you can transplant them into new soil.

Management of Clivia after transplanting

After repotting, the Clivia plant itself needs proper recovery. At this time, you need to water the soil in the pot thoroughly until water starts to drip out of the drainage hole, and then place it in a ventilated and shaded place for maintenance. In addition to watering, you must also remember to fertilize regularly, but you must be cautious when fertilizing in summer. When the temperature exceeds 30℃, you must stop fertilizing, otherwise it is easy to cause fertilizer damage, because the high temperature in summer will cause the Clivia to stagnate in growth, and its roots cannot absorb fertilizer at this time.
