Clivia seedlings need to prepare pot soil before potting them. The diameter of the pot should be about 10cm, and the soil should be breathable and drainable. Check the root system of the seedlings, prepare potassium permanganate solution, soak the seedlings in it for 5 minutes, take it out, wash it with water and dry it in the sun. Before potting, spray the soil and dig a hole. Finally, place the seedlings in the soil, bury them and place them in a ventilated and cool place.

1. Prepare pot soil

1. Prepare the potting soil

Before potting, you need to prepare the potting soil. Since it is a small seedling, the flowerpot does not need to be too big, just about 10cm in diameter. The soil should have a certain degree of drainage and breathability, and it would be better if peat soil can be used. The soil must be clean and it is best not to have soil where other plants have been planted.

2. Handling young seedlings

Part 1 Before potting, you need to check the status of its root system, and then use potassium permanganate to disinfect and soak it. It does not need to be soaked for too long. After 5 minutes, take it out and rinse it with water, and then let it dry the roots before potting it. If there is a wound on the root system, apply some carbendazim or charcoal powder to it to help the root system grow and recover.

3. Potting

The soil should be sprayed wet first, and a small hole should be dug using tools, and then the sterilized and dried seedlings should be planted into it. When planting, the roots should be fully stretched and should not be entangled. After planting, bury the roots with soil and press lightly.

4. Potting and maintenance

After potting, it needs to be placed in a cool location with natural ventilation, and can be placed on a windowsill at home. There is no need to fertilize it in the early stage, because its root absorption capacity is not very good, and fertilization can easily cause fertilizer damage. Wait for it to grow 2-3 leaves, then you can fertilize it sparingly.
