The secret method of using leaves to root Clivia

1. Select the leaves

One thing to note when choosing leaves for rooting is that the selected leaves must have pseudobulbs underneath, that is, leaves with a little bit of roots. Of course, you can also use leaves close to the middle for cuttings.

2. Prepare the soil

To prepare loose and well-breathable soil, you can use leaf mold, river sand and garden soil to mix it yourself.

3. Cutting

Insert the leaves into the prepared potting soil in advance, with a depth of about 6 to 8 cm. Be careful not to insert it too deep. Then pour a small amount of water and place it in a cool and ventilated place and carefully maintain it. After about a week, fibrous roots will grow on the leaves. At this time, you should gradually increase the amount of watering. After about two months, seedlings will grow at the roots of the leaves.
