Clivia seeds need to be soaked before sowing. Soak the seeds in warm water at 30-35°C for 20-30 minutes, take them out and let them dry for 1-2 hours. Use humus soil and fine sand to prepare potting soil. You can also use wood shavings or wood chaff as the substrate. Plant the seeds inside with the small eyes facing down, and cover them with 2-3 cm. After sowing, spray water appropriately to keep the substrate moist. You can check it regularly. It usually takes 15 days to germinate.

1. Seed soaking and germination

Before sowing Clivia, you need to soak the seeds first. Soak the seeds in water, keep the water temperature between 30-35°C, and take them out after soaking for 20-30 minutes. After taking it out, it can be left to dry for 1-2 hours, or it can be soaked in sodium phosphate solution for 20-30 minutes, and then washed with clean water. Soaking seeds allows the seeds to absorb a certain amount of water, which can help them germinate and improve disease resistance.

2. Pot soil preparation

If you want seedlings to grow better, you must prepare special culture soil. The simpler method is to use leaf mold soil and fine sand, and mix the two in a ratio of 2:1. Professional breeding requires the use of wood shavings or wood chaff, and fine sand or rotten leaves can also be used, but the effect is not as good as the first two. Disinfect the wood shavings before use, soak them in water, put them in a basket and press them for later use.

3. Sowing

Clivia The time for sowing is not strict. As long as the temperature is between 20-25℃, the seeds can germinate, so sowing must be carried out in a warm environment. Place the seeds, eye-side down, into the wood shavings, keeping them spaced apart. Then cover it with 2-3 cm of shavings and flatten it slightly. After proper spraying with water, put it in a ventilated place.

4. Follow-up maintenance

Clivia During the breeding process, you should regularly open the wood shavings to see if the seeds have germinated. Wash your hands before opening, or use clean wooden strips. Do not allow oil stains on the substrate, otherwise the seeds will be infected. Water it every once in a while to keep the substrate moist. The temperature should be controlled between 15-30℃, and germination will usually take place in half a month.
