Many people use it as a New Year's flower during the Spring Festival, as it can bloom for one to two months, making it one of the main flowers that bloom in winter and spring.

A well-cared-for Clivia Miniata is very valuable, and some experts can grow it into an exceptional state, selling for tens of thousands of dollars per pot. However, in our daily care, we don't need to be so particular; just getting it to bloom successfully is enough. If you want to care for Clivia Miniata well, follow these growth habits for maintenance, and you won't do too poorly.
First, the pot selection method for Clivia Miniata
If you want to grow Clivia Miniata to be upright and beautiful, it's best to keep it in a beautiful, breathable pot. Generally, when growing Clivia Miniata, people prefer to use purple sand pots, as their rustic style complements the plant's temperament, creating a very elegant atmosphere. However, it doesn't like deep pots or large pots. Only when its roots fill the entire pot can it grow and bloom. If you use a large pot, it will only grow roots and leaves and won't bloom easily.

Second, soil issues
Choosing the right pot, followed by planting with suitable soil is also very important. The roots of Clivia Miniata are thick and resemble radishes, which are very good at storing water and nutrients, similar to the roots of orchids. Therefore, the soil for growing Clivia Miniata should ideally be a special nutrient-rich soil for Clivia Miniata. If not available, you can also use decayed leaf soil or pine needle soil to make your own mixture.
Some people prefer to use soft granular soil, such as well-fermented bark, well-fermented peanut shells, combined with ceramic granules and other granular soils. As long as the soil is loose and breathable, water will quickly渗透 down. This allows its roots to spread and penetrate deeply, enabling the leaves to absorb ample nutrients, making the plant upright and the blooms abundant.
