Turning pots in spring is beneficial to the growth of Clivia. In the growing period, Clivia likes loose, fertile and slightly acidic soil with smooth drainage. After a year or two of maintenance, the pot soil is easy to harden, which is not good for the growth of Clivia. Therefore, in April and May of spring, Clivia can be changed into pots of soil, or it can be combined with ramets. How to do it specifically?
The flowerpot used by Clivia is preferably a clay pot, because this flowerpot has good water permeability and air permeability, which is beneficial to the growth of Clivia. If it's an annual Clivia, it's best to use a three-inch flowerpot, change it to a five-inch flowerpot the next year, and then change the flowerpot of the first size every 1 to 2 years. Clivia soil, preferably soil rich in humus, has good air permeability and water permeability, and the soil is fertile and slightly acidic. Then we add 20% sand to humus soil, which is beneficial to the cultivation of root system. We need to take Clivia out of the flowerpot first. Generally, we can water the flowerpot in advance, which is beneficial to remove the flowerpot without hurting the root system of Clivia. After taking Clivia out of the flowerpot, gently shake off the soil on it, then cut off the dead and rotten roots, and then smear the wound with plant ash to prevent the nutrients from flowing out. (1) When cultivating Clivia, fill the bottom of the flowerpot with some decomposed sheep manure, and then put the mixed soil into the flowerpot to 1/3. (2) After that, Clivia is placed in the middle of the flowerpot, and the roots naturally stretch. With Clivia in one hand and soil in the other. After filling a layer of soil, gently lift Clivia upward, in order to let the roots of Clivia stretch naturally, and then fill it until it is about two centimeters below the flowerpot, with a little more soil in the middle. Then gently compact the soil, otherwise it is easy for Clivia to rot and die. (3) After watering, put it in a ventilated place to slow the seedlings for about ten days, and it can be maintained normally. Don't water Clivia too much, because the fleshy roots of Clivia can store more water and have certain drought resistance. Generally, it is good for us to keep the water content of Clivia's basin soil at about 30%, and the watering needs to be dry and wet alternately, that is, the basin soil is dried before watering. So how to water it specifically?
We water Clivia in spring, and we can water it according to the weather change. Generally, water is poured once every/kloc-0 to 2 days. If it rains, we should reduce watering appropriately. We water Clivia, the seedlings of Clivia need less water, and the flowering Clivia needs more water. Clivia is easy to be hit by arrows if there is little water, low temperature and little fertilization. Water Clivia, not the leaves, to prevent the leaves from rotting. If the leaves of Clivia are dusty, we can gently wipe them with a soft cloth instead of spraying a lot of water to prevent the leaves of Clivia from rotting. When watering Clivia in spring, it is best to wash the water with rain or fermented thin rice. This kind of water is slightly acidic, which is beneficial to the growth and flowering of Clivia. Clivia is a fertilizer-loving flower, but it needs to be applied thinly and diligently, otherwise it will easily cause fertilizer damage and root burning. If too little fertilizer is applied, Clivia will blossom, and it is easy to be hit by an arrow. How to fertilize Clivia in spring?
When we turn over the pots for Clivia, we apply some decomposed manure, and then in spring, we need to apply decomposed sheep manure or decomposed organic fertilizer to Clivia every 30 days or so. When burying solid fertilizer, we can peel off the pot soil and put the fertilizer at a depth of two centimeters, not too close to the roots of Clivia to prevent the roots from burning. In addition to burying the decomposed solid fertilizer for Clivia, it is also necessary to apply dilute liquid fertilizer to Clivia. We can apply dilute liquid fertilizer every 7 to 10 days. When applying liquid fertilizer, if it is Clivia seedlings, the ratio of fertilizer to water we need is 1: 40, and the ratio of large and medium Clivia seedlings is 1: 20. Fertilize Clivia, preferably in the early morning. Don't splash the fertilizer on the leaves when fertilizing, so as not to hurt the leaves. After fertilization, it needs to be watered once, mainly to dissolve the fertilizer, and then the fleshy roots that grow back. Fertilize Clivia in spring by applying some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and using bone meal. Also, before the flowering of Clivia, sufficient fertilizer must be applied, which can promote the pedicels and buds of Clivia to have sufficient nutrients and avoid being shot by arrows. Conclusion The temperature in spring is suitable, which is the vigorous growth period of Clivia. We turn over pots for Clivia during its vigorous growth period, which is beneficial to its slow growth. After turning over the pots, we need to water the pots after the soil is dry. If Clivia is about to blossom, we need to water it more properly, so that the pedicel of Clivia will grow faster and it is not easy to be hit by an arrow. Fertilization should also be done with thin fertilizer and diligent application to prevent fertilizer from damaging roots. There is also Clivia in spring, which can be kept indoors under scattered light, so that Clivia can grow stronger seedlings and bloom in winter.
