When is the best time to plant Clivia?

Planting Clivia should be done in spring. It likes a warm growing environment. Planting it at this time will make the plant grow faster and better. However, most of the propagation is done by division. It can be combined with division when repotting. It is recommended to do it in spring and autumn. If you divide the plant at this time, the wound is not easily infected by bacteria, and it will survive faster after planting.

Clivia, also known as sword-leafed amaryllis and large-leafed amaryllis, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the genus Clivia in the Amaryllidaceae family. It is an ornamental flower native to southern South Africa. The flowering period is as long as 30-50 days, mainly in winter and spring, and also blooms around New Year's Day to the Spring Festival. It avoids strong light and is a semi-shade plant. It likes coolness and avoids high temperatures.

What is the structure of Clivia?

The structure can be divided into: roots, stems, pseudobulbs, leaves, etc.

1. Root: The root is composed of root base, rhizome and root tip. It is a fleshy root with good water storage capacity and obtains nutrients from the soil.

2. Stem: The stem is composed of a fish-scale outer diameter and a fleshy inner diameter. It supports the luxuriant branches and leaves of the plant, transports water and nutrients from the roots, and organic matter produced in the leaves, and also stores a large amount of water and nutrients.

3. Pseudobulb: Composed of coded petioles. A modified stem of a plant, usually ovoid to elliptical, fleshy, green or sometimes other colors, where nutrients and water are stored.

4. Leaf: A combination of petiole, leaf tip and leaf body. It carries out photosynthesis to synthesize organic matter and has transpiration effect. The epidermis plays a protective role.

How to water Clivia after it is just planted

Pour water into the pot from the edge, and never pour water into the center of the leaves, let alone sprinkle a lot of water directly on the entire Clivia, mainly because the indoor ventilation is not good, and the water droplets will stay in the center of the leaves for a long time, which will easily cause heart rot. Under normal circumstances, do not water immediately after repotting. Wait until the potting soil is dry before watering, but there should be no accumulation of water. It also depends on how it was treated before potting. If the roots are dried before potting, water them in time. If they are not dried, just spray a small amount of water on the leaves. In addition, pay attention to trimming old roots and rotten roots when repotting, and place them in a place with good scattered light outdoors after potting to allow them to receive light. After drying for a day, move them indoors.
