I. Understanding Clivia. Clivia is a beautiful, hardy, and easy-to-grow indoor plant. They are usually most active in spring and summer, requiring plenty of sunlight and appropriate humidity. Clivia can typically live for many years, so keeping them healthy and beautiful is very important.
II. Choosing the right time for division. The best time for division is in spring or summer, as the plant is in its growing period and can adapt to the new environment more quickly. Do not divide in winter or autumn, as the Clivia is dormant during this time.
III. Preparing tools and materials. You will need a pair of sharp scissors or pruning shears, a new pot, and fresh soil.
IV. Removing the Clivia from the container. Gently remove the Clivia from its original container to avoid damaging the roots.
V. Checking the Clivia's root system. Gently shake the Clivia with your fingers to check if the roots are tightly connected. If there are tangled roots, they need to be gently separated.
VI. Determining the size of the new pot. Choose a suitable new container based on the number of Clivia divisions you need.
VII. Preparing new potting soil. Prepare new soil for the Clivia, mixing in an appropriate amount of fertilizer and decomposed organic matter.
VIII. Placing the Clivia in the new potting soil. Place the Clivia in the new potting soil, positioning them in the center so they can grow steadily.
IX. Gently tamping the new soil. Gently press down on the new soil to help the Clivia grow stably.
X. Watering. After division, the Clivia needs sufficient water, but do not overwater.
XI. Preventing overwatering. Overwatering can lead to root rot and disease, so be sure to water again only after the soil surface is dry.
XII. Paying attention to environmental and temperature changes. Clivia needs a suitable environment and temperature to grow and should be protected from sudden temperature changes or direct sunlight.
XIII. Waiting for the divisions to grow. It usually takes Clivia several weeks or months to adapt to the new environment and growing conditions. It is necessary to be patient and pay attention to the plant's growth status.
XIV. Regularly pruning and maintaining the divisions. Regularly pruning and maintaining the Clivia divisions can help them stay healthy and beautiful.
XV. By mastering the correct division techniques, you can easily propagate Clivia. Pay attention to the environment, temperature, and moisture, and regularly prune and maintain the divisions to allow the Clivia to grow beautifully at home for a long time.
