Before repotting

Stop watering the Clivia Miniata for a few days before preparing to repot it, allowing the soil to gradually dry out, making it easier to remove the plant from the pot.

Preparing the pot

Clivia Miniata has succulent roots and is drought-tolerant and flood-tolerant, suitable for growing in loose, well-draining soil. It is recommended to use earthenware pots for cultivating Clivia Miniata.

Selecting soil substrate

Clivia Miniata can use decomposed leaf soil as the substrate, with pine needles and coarse sand buried inside, mixed in a ratio of 7:1:1. A small amount of charcoal, hemp seeds, and sunflower seeds can also be added, as these oily fertilizers are more suitable as a base fertilizer and Clivia Miniata prefers this type of fertilizer.

Steps for repotting Clivia Miniata

Step 1: The new pot for repotting Clivia Miniata should be larger than the original. First, use a knife to insert it into the soil along the inner wall of the pot and make a circle, separating the old pot wall from the soil.

Step 2: Hold the Clivia Miniata with the right palm facing down, wrap your fingers around the plant's stem, spread your fingers, press the potting soil tightly, flip the pot with your left hand, and place the potting soil and plant on your palm.

Step 3: Immediately plant the Clivia Miniata in the new pot. When planting, place the plant in the center of the pot, gradually add soil to straighten the roots, gently press the soil surface, water once, and place it in a shady area.

Care for Clivia Miniata after repotting

1. Watering

Do not wait for the potting soil to completely dry out before watering Clivia Miniata. Water when the soil is half-dry to keep the soil moist, which is beneficial for growth.

2. Lighting

Clivia Miniata is a semi-shade plant; it cannot grow without light, but too much light is also not good. Some sunlight during early spring, late autumn, and winter is crucial for promoting Clivia Miniata flowering. It is essential to control the light intensity during these periods.

3. Yellowing leaves treatment

If half of the leaves of Clivia Miniata start to turn yellow and dry, and become a bit thin, move the plant to a brighter area, and provide shading at noon, with 4 hours of sunlight per day being sufficient.

4. Daily pruning

Yellow and withered leaves should be removed from the base of the plant. Don't just prune the dry leaves; wait until the withered leaves age before removing them. Also, cut the stem of the flower stalk and apply red霉soft to the cut surface.
