Clivia prefers flowerpots of moderate size, not too big. You need to choose a flowerpot according to the size of the plant. The width of the flowerpot is determined by the length of the leaves, and it can occupy two-thirds of the extended length of the leaves. The height is determined according to the growth of the plant to ensure that the root system can spread normally. Repot the plant in spring and autumn, remove the plant from its original pot and plant it in a new pot.

1. How big is the pot?

When cultivating Clivia, it likes flowerpots of moderate size. It does not need to be too big. You need to choose a flowerpot according to the size of the plant. Never use a large pot. When cultivating seedlings, otherwise the accumulation of water will cause root rot, affecting the growth of the plants, and the proportions of the plants will be inconsistent and unsightly. The width of the flowerpot is determined by the length of the leaves, which should occupy two-thirds of the extended length of the leaves.

The height is determined according to the growth of the plant. It does not need to be too deep. Just make sure that the root system can stretch out normally. If the root system is dense, choose a larger flower pot. If the flower pot is too shallow, it will be difficult for the root system to stretch out and affect the absorption of water and fertilizer. If the number of roots is small, the choice of flower pot cannot be too high.
