Before repotting, you need to stop watering, wait for the soil to gradually dry, then loosen the soil appropriately and take the plant out. Check its roots, cut off old and dead roots, and spray carbendazim for disinfection. Then prepare new potting soil with leaf mold soil, river sand, etc., plant the plants in it, and fill it with new soil.

1. Repot time

Repotting Clivia is usually done in spring or autumn. Summer is its flowering period, and changing pots may cause buds and flowers to fall, and the high temperature and humidity are not conducive to recovery. If the temperature is too low in winter, it will be difficult for the plants to survive after repotting, and it will also affect the growth of the plants.

2. Stop watering and remove the basin

Before preparing to pot the Clivia, you need to stop watering it for a few days. This will allow the soil to gradually dry out, making it easier to remove the pot. During the removal of the pot, loosen the surrounding soil first, especially around the inner wall of the pot. After loosening the soil, hold the stem of the plant and gently remove it.

3. Check the roots

After the Clivia is removed from the pot, you need to check its roots. Old and dead roots must be cut off in time, as well as any rotten parts. After cutting the roots, you can spray or apply a little carbendazim, which can disinfect and avoid wound infection.

4. Preparation of soil

Use Mix leaf humus, needle leaves, river sand and compost to prepare potting soil. The ratio of the four is 6:2:1:1. Well-mixed potting soil has good drainage, which can prevent the roots from being submerged in water. The soil must have a certain level of fertility to ensure that it can provide nutrients for plant growth.

5. Planting in pots

Find a flower pot of suitable size, fill the bottom with a little pot soil, put the plant in the flower pot, and fill it with pot soil. During the soil filling process, it can be lifted appropriately to promote the connection between the roots and the soil and help the plants to fit into the pot.
