How to deal with root rot of Clivia

1. Treatment methods

1. Take out the plant: Pour the Clivia out of the original pot, shake off the original soil on it, and rinse it with clean water.

2. Prune rotten roots: After disinfecting the knife, cut off the rotten roots. The cut should be smooth enough when pruning. After cutting it off, use potassium permanganate to disinfect the roots to prevent infection. After disinfection, place it in a ventilated and semi-shaded place.

3. Replanting: Wait until the cut is dry and then replant. However, before planting, new soil should be used and the original pot should be disinfected, otherwise it will be infected and the roots will rot again.

2. Methods to prevent root rot

1. When watering Clivia, be sure to control the amount and avoid excess water in the pot. If you accidentally water too much, you must loosen the soil in time to let the water flow out as soon as possible. Also, do not expose it to rain during maintenance.

2. Avoid applying high-concentration fertilizers or uncomposted fertilizers to it. The plant cannot absorb them, and the remaining fertilizers will burn its root system. Over time, the roots will easily rot.
