What kind of soil does Clivia like?

1. Soil conditions

1. Acidity: First of all, we must ensure that the soil is acidic. This is a very important condition and is helpful for growth. The pH value cannot be too high, otherwise it will affect the growth of the plant, causing weak growth, and in severe cases, death.

2. Breathability: Permeability must also be ensured. If the plant grows in heavy clay soil, the roots will find it difficult to adapt and will have difficulty breathing, which will affect its ability to absorb water and nutrients and make it difficult to supply plant growth.

3. Loose: The soil should be as loose as possible, deep and loose to facilitate the normal growth of the root system.

4. Nutrition: Rich nutrients are also one of the conditions. It can supplement enough nutrition and contains a large amount of humus to provide for the plant's later growth.

2. Soil preparation plan

The main materials for soil preparation now are leaf mold, river sand, peat soil, furnace ash, pine needle soil, bone meal, bricks and tiles, and charcoal fragments. Among them, forest leaf mold is the most ideal soil, which is closer to the original environment. The most common soil is forest leaf mold, accounting for six-tenths. Add one-tenth of each: pine needles, slag, and old soil, then a little charcoal and bone meal.
