Can the rotten roots of Clivia be saved?

1. Can it be saved?

Clivia can be saved after its roots rot. It has a very good growth ability, but it is basically impossible to make it recover on its own. Therefore, when you find that the roots of the plant are rotten, you should save it as soon as possible. After a series of rescue efforts, you still need to master reasonable maintenance methods, water it in small amounts at ordinary times, and pay attention to good ventilation to prevent root rot again.

2. Rescue Methods

1. Remove rotten roots: Take the plant out of the pot and clean off the sticky soil. If you can't see clearly which roots are rotten, rinse them with water. Use clean and sharp scissors to cut off the rotten roots. If the stem is rotten, cut it off completely.

2. Disinfection and sterilization: The root-pruned plants cannot be directly potted because there will be residual bacteria on them, so potassium permanganate should be used for disinfection before potting. Soak the roots in water for about 10 minutes and then let them dry.

3. Potting and rooting: prepare a new pot of soil and plant the Clivia in it. At the beginning, place it in a well-ventilated location and keep it out of the sun so that it can take root faster.
