How to identify Clivia lack of water

1. Tapping method

This method of judgment is to knock on the outer wall of the flower pot. The approximate knocking position is the center of the flower pot, and tap gently with a wooden stick. If a crisp sound is heard, it means that the plant is currently short of water and should be watered in time. If the sound is very dull, it means there is sufficient water in the soil.

2. Weighing method

Before watering, you can stand up the flower pot and feel the overall weight of the flower pot. Generally speaking, if the flower pot is very light when you lift it, it means that all the water has evaporated and you need to replenish water. If the weight is very heavy, don't water it for the time being.

3. View Method

This method can be said to be the most accurate method of judgment. Insert your fingers into the soil and feel the moisture in the soil. If it feels damp, it means there is still moisture in the soil. Generally, you can water it when it is slightly moist.

4. Check the status of the leaves

When Clivia is short of water, its leaves will wilt and look very listless. Usually, you need to water it quickly when this happens. However, this method is not very scientific, and it is best not to let the plants stay in a dry and water-deficient state.
