The Method of Preparing Nutritious Soil for Clivia Miniata
A brief knowledge sharing with you on the experience related to the preparation of nutritious soil for Clivia Miniata planting. Let's take a look together.
How to prepare the nutritious soil for Clivia Miniata once the components are selected? The proportion of the various components in the nutritious soil is crucial. There are differences between seedlings and mature plants; there are also differences between changing soil in spring and autumn; there are differences in cultivation between the north and the south. The general principle is that the particle size of decomposed leaf soil in the soil for seedlings should be smaller, while that for mature Clivia Miniata should be larger; the proportion of soil, pine needles, sand particles, and charcoal particles in the soil for seedlings should be smaller;
the proportion of soil, pine needles, sand particles, and charcoal particles for mature plants should be larger, the proportion of sand and charcoal particles in the summer preparation should be larger; the proportion of sand and charcoal particles in the autumn preparation should be smaller, and some slag can be added in autumn. In the south, the overall proportion of pine needles, sand particles, charcoal particles, and slag should be increased, and the components can be appropriately increased or decreased according to personal experience. Note: The broad-leaf soil must be fully fermented; do not use unfermented soil. Well-fermented leaf soil can be crumbled into small pieces by hand, but unfermented soil is difficult to crumble.
Here are several examples of nutritious soil mix ratios for reference.
Spring mature Clivia Miniata soil mix ratio (by volume): Oak leaves (or oak leaves, nail-sized pieces) 60%, larch pine needles (no need to ferment) 10%, coarse sand 10%, charcoal particles 10%, old soil (sifted to remove fines) 10%.
Spring seedling soil mix ratio (by volume): Oak leaves (or oak leaves, 1/2 nail-sized pieces) 65%, larch pine needles (no need to ferment) 10%, coarse sand 10%, charcoal particles 5%, old soil (sifted to remove fines) 10%.
Autumn mature Clivia Miniata soil mix ratio (by volume): Oak leaves (or oak leaves, nail-sized pieces) 60%, larch pine needles (no need to ferment) 10%, coarse sand 5%, charcoal particles 10%, slag 5%, old soil (sifted to remove fines) 10%.
Autumn seedling soil mix ratio (by volume): Oak leaves (or oak leaves, 1/2 nail-sized pieces) 65%, larch pine needles (no need to ferment) 10%, coarse sand 5%, charcoal particles 5%, slag 5%, old soil (sifted to remove fines) 10%.
Young seedling soil mix ratio (by volume): Oak leaves (or oak leaves, 1/2 nail-sized pieces) 40%, larch pine needles (no need to ferment) 10%, old soil 50% (can be unsifted, if sifted, the mesh size should be suitable for window screen). If the old soil contains sand particles, charcoal, etc., there is no need to add them separately. The above is an introduction to the method of preparing nutritious soil for Clivia Miniata, hoping it can help you.
