How to divide Clivia? Can it be placed in the bedroom?

1. Division method

1. Preparation work: Before starting to divide the plants, you need to prepare a flowerpot with good air permeability and a loose, transparent substrate. After preparation, it must be disinfected to prevent the divided seedlings from being infected by pathogens. In addition, you need to prepare a sharp knife and an appropriate amount of charcoal powder.

2. Remove the Clivia from the pot and divide it: Take the Clivia out of the pot, clean off the old soil on the roots, and then find the axillary buds for division. If it is on the outer edge, you can just break it off. If the seedling is very thick, you need to use the prepared knife to cut it off. If you break it off forcefully, it will affect its recovery growth.

3. Disinfection and potting: Cut off the separated seedlings and apply charcoal powder to avoid rot. The next step is to plant the seedlings in the pot, with enough soil to cover the pseudobulb at the base.

4. Potting and maintenance: Water thoroughly after potting. Wait for about half a month for the wound of the sub-plant to heal. At this time, you can add a layer of nutrient soil. It will grow new roots in about 1-2 months.
