Is Clivia suitable for deep or shallow pots?

Should Clivia be potted in a deep or shallow pot?

Plants like Clivia are more suitable for maintenance in deep pots because the plant's root system is more developed. The depth of the pot should be more than 10 cm. If it is maintained in a shallow pot, the roots of the plant will easily extend out of the soil and affect its growth.

In terms of flower pot material, clay pots or tile pots are most suitable for the growth of Clivia. The flower pots have better air permeability and can best meet the growth needs of Clivia.

How to repot Clivia

1. Time to repot Clivia

Clivia is usually repotted in spring and autumn, and the potting soil can be replaced 1-2 times a year. If the potting soil is not changed for a long time, the nutrients in the soil will be consumed, which will have a negative impact on the growth of the plant.

2. Watering after repotting Clivia

It is not necessary to water the Clivia that has just been repotted immediately. You must wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before watering it thoroughly, but do not allow water to accumulate.

3. Things to note when repotting Clivia

(1) Check and prune the roots: Check the root system of the Clivia after removing it from the pot, trim off the rotten roots and old roots in time, disinfect the wounds, and wait until the wounds are dry before repotting.

(2) Repotting and changing soil: Place the Clivia in the center of the pot, fill the space between the roots and the pot with soil, and gently compact it with your hands.

(3) Cover the soil and apply fertilizer: After repotting, sprinkle a layer of roasted melon seeds on the spray, and finally cover with a thin layer of soil and place it in a well-ventilated place for maintenance.
