Can I use old soil to replace the soil of Clivia? Do I need to water it after changing it?

1. Old soil can be used

When changing the soil for Clivia, the old soil can be reused. However, because the nutrients in it have been almost absorbed by the plant, the fertility will be insufficient. Before use, some base fertilizer should be added to increase its fertility. However, it is recommended to use half old soil mixed with half new soil, or to use all new soil. Because this will prevent the flower soil from becoming compacted and allow it to grow better.

2. Root repair is required

When repotting it, it is best to trim its roots at the same time, cut off the old and black roots, and thin out the overly dense roots. This will allow it to absorb nutrients from the soil more efficiently and grow better. If not treated, these roots will take up a lot of space and consume a lot of nutrients, affecting the growth of the plant.

3. Water after repotting

After repotting, you need to water it once. Doing this will allow the roots to be more closely integrated with the new soil, which will be of great benefit to its future growth. However, after watering, you need to ensure that there is no water accumulation in the soil, otherwise it may affect the growth of the plant.
