How to take care of the newly bought Clivia

1. Prepare the flower pot

Before buying Clivia, you should actually prepare the flower pots. It is best to use clay pots.

2. Prepare the soil

When choosing flower soil, it is best to use soil specially designed for Clivia, and ensure that the soil is loose, fertile and breathable.

3. Planting

For newly bought Clivia, before planting, you need to block half of the small hole at the bottom of the pot with a piece of broken tile, and then find another piece of broken tile and place it diagonally on top of the previous broken tile in a herringbone shape. This way the drainage hole will not be completely blocked. When there is a lot of rain, excess water can flow out from the gap to prevent water accumulation in the pot. Then you can put the plant in, cover it with soil, and press it slightly tightly with your hands.

4. Watering

When watering it for the first time, be sure to water it thoroughly. The specific amount should be the amount of water that flows out from the bottom of the pot.

5. Maintenance

After you plant the newly bought Clivia in a pot, you need to water it thoroughly so that the soil in the pot can fully absorb the water, and then place it outdoors for maintenance, but prevent it from being exposed to sunlight. It is best to place it in a shaded place for maintenance. After half a month, you can expose it to normal light. At the same time, do not apply fertilizer during this period. Wait until the plant has fully adapted to the environment of the potting soil before applying fertilizer, and then you can carry out normal maintenance.
