What kind of flower pot is good for growing Clivia

Types of flower pots

To choose the most suitable flower pot for growing Clivia, we must first understand what types of flower pots there are. Flower pots can be roughly divided into plastic pots, tile pots and glazed pots.

Plastic basin

Plastic pots come in a variety of colors, including white, green, and black. They are light, easy to carry, and not easily damaged. There are many holes at the bottom of the pots, which facilitates drainage. Some plastic pots come with a tray at the bottom, which can be used for viewing, but the tray should be removed when planting.

Clay Basin

Clay pots have good air permeability and are suitable for use as planting pots, but because they are fired at low temperatures, they are relatively fragile and easily broken.

Glazed basin

Many glazed basins have artistic value and can be used as exhibits at exhibitions. Glazed pots can also be used to grow Clivia, but glazed pots are more expensive and are easily damaged during the cultivation and management process. Therefore, after viewing the Clivia in a glazed pot, it is necessary to transplant it into a cultivation pot in time.

Flower pots suitable for growing Clivia

Since Clivia has fleshy roots, is drought-resistant but afraid of waterlogging, it is suitable for growing in loose soil with good water permeability and drainage. Therefore, when choosing a flower pot, it is also necessary to have good water permeability and water absorption. Based on this characteristic of Clivia, the editor recommends using clay pots to cultivate Clivia, and also choosing suitable clay pots according to the size of the Clivia. It is best not to use large pots for small flowers, small pots for large flowers, deep pots for small seedlings, etc. If you can't buy clay basins locally, you can use plastic basins or porcelain basins instead.
