Let me tell you about how to water and care for Clivia Miniata and the green plant flower content of Clivia Miniata potting tutorial. Please see the detailed introduction below.
Too much watering can cause root rot in Clivia Miniata.
Clivia Miniata has developed fleshy roots, holds a lot of water, and does not require high water content. Instead, it prefers a breathable and loose soil environment. Improper watering can cause root rot; in addition, deep pots or non-breathable pots can also lead to root rot.
Watering techniques for Clivia Miniata.
The key to watering is the dryness of the soil. When you insert your finger into the soil and it feels dry, you can water it. In this weather, it's about once a week, and once every two weeks with a lot of water. After watering, prop up the pot bottom to increase ventilation.
Seedlings can be sprayed with water on the leaves, but be careful not to let water accumulate in the core of the leaves.
Do not spray water on Clivia Miniata about to bloom, nor should you water from top to bottom because the flower spike comes out from the core of the flower. If water accumulates here before the spike is pulled out, it is very easy to rot the core or the spike.
What to do if Clivia Miniata's roots rot?
1. If the root rot is not severe, cut off the rotting part, soak the roots in a carbendazim/potassium permanganate solution, let them dry, and then repot with fresh soil.

2. If all the roots are rotten, remove all the rotten leaves and cut off all the rotten roots. Disinfect the sprout and let it root before potting.
Materials for rooting can include sphagnum moss, deer marsh soil, sand, or wood shavings. The optimal temperature for rooting is between 15-25°C. Soak the rooting medium, and plant the Clivia Miniata sprout into it.
When the medium feels dry, spray a little water to keep it moist. Roots will emerge in 1-2 months. Coarse sand roots slower, while sphagnum moss is the fastest. Wait until the white roots are 5-8 cm long before transplanting.
