How to prepare soil for Clivia

1. Soil preparation for newly planted Clivia

The root system of newly planted Clivia does not grow vigorously, so when choosing soil, you should choose loose, fertile, well-ventilated and breathable soil. You can choose to mix leaf mold, garden soil and river sand evenly. This kind of potting soil is conducive to the roots to better absorb nutrients and water during early watering and fertilization, and the plants will grow and develop faster.

2. Planting Clivia for one or two years

After one year of planting, the Clivia has adapted to the growth environment and has formed a certain plant shape, but the root system needs to absorb sufficient water and nutrients to provide the plant with faster growth and flowering. Therefore, the Clivia needs to grow 12 leaves to reach the flowering conditions. At this time, it is still necessary to prepare river sand, leaf mold, and garden soil. After preparation, add an appropriate amount of bone meal or peat soil to facilitate the rapid flowering of the plant.

3. Clivia planted for more than three years

Clivia that has been planted for more than three years has become a mature plant, and has experienced flowering and falling flowers. Therefore, when preparing the soil at this time, it is necessary to keep the soil fertile enough to provide plant growth and development, and to produce larger and brighter flowers. When choosing potting soil, it is mainly to use leaf mold, garden soil, and river sand for a uniform mixture. Usually, it is necessary to apply decomposed base fertilizer or liquid fertilizer, and increase trace elements such as potassium fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer, which is beneficial to improve the disease resistance of the plant and promote the quality of flowering.
