Time for transplanting Clivia seedlings

When is the best time to transplant the Clivia seedlings in the sowing container?

Generally, when the Clivia seedlings grow a leaf and are about 2-3 cm tall, they can be transplanted. If the seedlings are transplanted too early, their resistance will be weak and they cannot withstand the tossing and turning during transplanting. They will easily be damaged during the transplanting process, which will reduce the survival rate of the seedlings. However, transplanting too late will not affect the growth of the Clivia seedlings.

The seedlings in the sowing container rely on external nutrients to grow. If there is insufficient nutrients and they cannot absorb nutrients from the nutrient soil, they will grow weak due to malnutrition and may even die.

Time for Clivia to be divided into mature plants

Division can generally be carried out indoors all year round, but it varies in different regions. In areas south of the Yangtze River basin, it usually takes place around the Qingming Festival, and the temperature is generally between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius. The best time for autumn division is between White Dew and Autumnal Equinox, when the fruits are basically ripe and you can prepare for next year's flowering.

The time for division in the northern region is later than in the southern region and can be carried out depending on the temperature conditions.
