What should I pay attention to when transplanting Clivia?

1. What should you pay attention to when you just transplant Clivia?

Watering: Watering the newly transplanted Clivia should be based on the condition of its root system before burying it in the soil. If the root system is pruned and the wound is not dried before being buried in the soil, you need to wait two days before watering it to avoid infection of the wound after watering. If the plant is potted after drying, you can water it thoroughly once. The water poured at this time is called rooting water, which is beneficial to the recovery of the plant's root system. But be careful not to overdo it, so as not to make the soil in the pot too moist and cause root rot. The roots are relatively fragile right after transplanting.

Light: The newly transplanted Clivia cannot be exposed to sunlight immediately, otherwise it will easily lead to dehydration and death due to excessive evaporation of water. It needs to be placed in a ventilated shaded place and the temperature should be kept above 20 degrees and below 25 degrees. After one or two weeks of maintenance, you can move it to a semi-shaded place for normal maintenance. After a month, you can move it outdoors in the morning and evening to receive one or two hours of sunlight.

Fertilization: Stop fertilizing the newly repotted Clivia temporarily. Wait until it adapts to the new environment and its roots grow well before you fertilize it with a small amount of fertilizer to supplement nutrients.

2. How to care for newly transplanted Clivia in summer

Newly transplanted Clivia cannot receive direct sunlight, and the light is too strong in summer, so it needs to be maintained in a semi-shaded place with good ventilation. In addition, you can also increase the humidity of the maintenance environment by spraying water frequently. When applying fertilizer, you need to wait until the plant resumes its growth, otherwise the roots may be easily burned.

3. Should I water the newly transplanted Clivia?

Do not water the newly transplanted Clivia. Because the roots of the newly transplanted Clivia are still relatively fragile, if the amount of watering is not controlled well, the soil in the pot will be too moist and root rot will occur.
