How to make Clivia take root quickly (the secret method of promoting root growth of Clivia)

In fact, many times, we always think that the more roots Clivia has, the better. In fact, this is not the case. When caring for it, we often find that the roots are strong but there are few leaves, or the roots are strong but the flowers do not bloom.

After our proper root pruning, removing part of the root system can promote the flowering of Clivia, which is actually related to the root-crown ratio of Clivia.

Of course, when growing Clivia, under a reasonable root-crown ratio, only when the roots are strong will the leaves be lush, and only when the leaves are lush and green will they promote flowering, so root care is also very important .

When caring for Clivia, a common problem is that the soil in the pot becomes compacted and the seedlings become stunted and fail to take root.

When these situations occur, we can promote root growth by changing pots, changing soil and pruning roots. As long as the soil is loose, breathable and not compacted, reasonable repotting can ensure strong roots and green leaves.

As for what netizens asked about how to promote the root growth of Clivia, when it comes to promoting the root growth of Clivia, it is generally done after the roots of Clivia have rotted, because after the roots of Clivia have rotted, the disease may be partially rotten at the very least, or there may be no root system at all at the worst.

If the roots are not stimulated, it will be difficult for the Clivia to grow, and it will easily continue to rot and eventually die, so it is very important to stimulate the roots.

After the roots of the Clivia have rotten, we must remove the pot and trim the roots in time, and trim all the dead and rotten roots of the Clivia, and continue trimming until the rotten roots are no longer visible.

After pruning, it is recommended to disinfect, and then hang it upside down in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally. After the wound turns brown, soak it in water with rooting powder for half an hour before promoting rooting. Of course, it is okay not to soak it in rooting water, but the rooting will be slower .

Rooting method 1

After soaking, directly use plain sand for deep burial. Find plain river sand and then bury it deeply. Of course, when choosing plain river sand, the particles should not be too fine, because too fine can retain water well. Too coarse sand will not have enough contact area and is not conducive to rooting. The advantage of plain sand is that it does not contain microorganisms.

During the later maintenance process, the wound will not be infected by bacteria. In addition, the large temperature difference in the sand is conducive to the accumulation of sugar and promotes rooting .

Rooting method 2

The second method is to use the covering method , just like we cover the old rhizomes of orchids, use sphagnum moss to cover the Clivia to promote rooting.

The specific method is to disinfect the sphagnum moss first, then wrap the roots of the Clivia, and place it in a place with scattered light and ventilation for maintenance.

In the later stage, it is necessary to keep the sphagnum moss slightly moist, not too wet or too dry. This method can easily make Clivia take root, and the rooting is very fast. This is also our common method of promoting rooting .

Finally: Because the temperature drops slowly in winter, rooting is very slow. Don’t be anxious. You can use bagging to keep warm and moist.

Make ventilation holes on the bag. As long as the temperature and humidity are maintained, although the rooting is slow in winter, it will be fine as long as the leaves do not turn black. Pay attention to controlling the amount of watering to avoid rot.
