What size pot does Clivia prefer and how to change the pot

1. How big is the basin?

When growing Clivia, it likes a flowerpot of moderate size, not too big. You need to choose the flowerpot according to the size of the plant. Never use a large pot to grow a small seedling, otherwise the accumulation of water will cause root rot, affecting the growth of the plant, and the proportions of the plant will not be harmonious and not very beautiful. The width of the flowerpot is determined by the length of the leaves, and it only needs to occupy two-thirds of the extended length of the leaves.

The height is determined according to the growth of the plant. It does not need to be too deep, as long as the roots can stretch normally. If the roots are dense, choose a larger flowerpot. If the pot is too shallow, it will be difficult for the roots to stretch, affecting the absorption of water and fertilizer. If the number of roots is small, the flower pot should not be too high.

2. How to change the pot

1. Time: The best time to repot is in spring and autumn, when the temperature can be stabilized above 20 degrees Celsius, which is very beneficial for the recovery of the plant's roots. Be sure to avoid the flowering period.

2. Remove: Use a knife to cut a circle around the flowerpot, pour out the old soil, then trim the roots and remove the old soil and roots on the outside.

3. Planting: Prepare new potting soil, place the plant upright in the middle of the pot, shake the pot while filling it with soil, then compact the soil and water it thoroughly.
