What kind of soil is good for growing Clivia

1. Types

Clivia likes warm and semi-shaded places. Therefore, the requirements for soil are relatively high. Soil with high humus and high looseness is necessary for its growth, so loose sandy soil is best. It prefers a slightly acidic environment, so the soil pH should be between 6.2-6.7.

2. Soil preparation

You can choose mixed soil for cultivation and choose suitable soil according to different conditions. You can evenly mix 70% humus soil, 20% river sand, and 10% cake fertilizer; mix 80% peat soil and 20% river sand; or mix 70% pond mud, mountain mud, 30% broken bricks and charcoal. You can put some gravel or some moss on the soil surface.

3. Notes

1. Clivia is a fertilizer-loving plant, but do not fertilize too much, otherwise it will cause root rot;

2. Remember to change the potting soil once a year and bury the fleshy rhizomes in the soil when planting.
