What soil should be used for Clivia one-leaf seedlings

1. What soil to use

Because small-leaf seedlings are difficult to maintain at the beginning, if conditions permit, you can directly purchase special nutrient soil suitable for them, which can provide a good foundation for them. You can also prepare it yourself at home. The flower soil should not be too fine or too coarse. It is best to have a moderate coarseness. You can use leaf mold or pond mud and coal slag in a ratio of 3:1, stir it evenly and then use it for planting. Because leaf mold contains a large amount of nitrogen, it can provide sufficient nutrients for seedlings and promote their growth.

Alternatively, you can mix mountain mud, river sand and bran ash in a ratio of 4:4:2, stir well, and add a little nutrients as base fertilizer. This preparation method is also very good.

2. How to plant

First, choose a clay pot with good air permeability, put tiles on its bottom, and then add a layer of coarse mud particles to facilitate drainage. Spread a layer of fine soil on top. Hold the seedling in the middle with one hand and straighten it, add the prepared loam with the other hand, shake the flowerpot, and press gently to make it firm.
