1. Prepare pot soil

To raise Clivia, you need to use acidic flower soil with good drainage, good air permeability and a certain amount of humus. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare two parts of fine coconut bran, two parts of coarse coconut shell, one part of cinder and one part of peat soil, and mix them together to prepare its flower soil. In addition, you should also prepare a flower pot with good air permeability for it. You can use a mud pot or a pottery pot.

2. Off-pot pruning

After preparing the new potting soil, take the plant out of the original pot and shake it slightly to shake off the flower soil at the bottom. Then move it to a bright location and cut off old and rotten roots. After that, put it in disinfectant and soak it for about 20 minutes to kill any bacteria attached to it.

3. Pot cultivation

Place a layer of broken tiles at the very bottom of the flower pot, and then spread a thin layer of flower soil. Then gently place the plant in the center of the pot, hold it with one hand, and fill the remaining space in the pot with soil with the other hand. After all its roots have disappeared into the pot, compact the surface soil with your hands and water it thoroughly. After that, put it in a warm semi-shady place and wait for it to adapt to the new pot.
