How to take care of the newly bought Clivia

1. Check sterilization

After buying a new Clivia, you need to check the seedlings first to see if there are any rotten or diseased roots. If any, cut off rotten or diseased roots. After that, soak it in a diluted potassium permanganate solution for five minutes and then replant it.

2. Change the soil

The newly purchased Clivia potting soil can generally be used, but if you want the Clivia to grow more vigorously, you need to replace it with more fertile soil.

3. Lighting

After you buy the Clivia home, do not expose it to direct sunlight, because it has not yet fully adapted to the environment and its leaves may be easily burned by the sun. The plant needs to be placed in a cool, shaded place first, and then transplanted to a sunny place indoors after the Clivia has fully adapted.

4. Watering

Water the newly bought Clivia once to wet the soil thoroughly, and then do not water it for three days to allow the plant to adapt to the new environment. After the acclimatization period, you can water the plants normally.
