How to grow Clivia without roots

1. Disinfection

The reason why Clivia has no roots is often because of root rot, so cut it off. After cutting off, it is necessary to disinfect first. You can use carbendazim or potassium permanganate mixed with water to make a disinfectant. Then soak the trimmed area in it and remove it to dry after 30-40 minutes. The disinfectant should not be too concentrated, the content of carbendazim should be around 0.05%, and the potassium permanganate solution should be diluted to turn pink.

2. Pot soil preparation

In order for Clivia to take root, it is necessary to provide a suitable environment, and potting soil is the first step to help it take root. The soil should be as loose as possible and have good drainage. Soil that is too sticky is not good for the growth of roots. You can use sand, vermiculite, etc. to make potting soil, which is conducive to rooting.

3. Planting in pots

After preparing the potting soil, you can replant the Clivia. To allow ample space for the roots to grow, pack the bottom with sawdust and then place it in the pot and fill with soil. Then spray it with a little water and put it in a cool and ventilated place.

4. Subsequent maintenance

During the rooting period of Clivia, not too much water can be applied. You can wait until the surface soil is dry before watering. Do not water the leaves, as this will cause them to rot. It cannot be exposed to light during the maintenance period. Wait until it takes root and then slowly increase the light.
