The soil cannot be changed when Clivia blooms. Since flowering requires a lot of nutrients, changing the soil will lead to the loss of nutrients, which will cause the flowers to wither and may also affect their growth. Soil replacement is generally done in spring or autumn, when recovery is easier. Stop the water before changing the soil, and then remove it from the pot, being careful not to damage the roots. Use humus soil, pine needles and river sand mixed as a substrate, put it into the pot and fill it with soil. After filling, compact it and water it thoroughly, then place it in a cool place for curing.
