When it comes to indoor flowering plants, many enthusiasts immediately think of Clivia miniata. As a plant with both beautiful leaves and flowers, it is indeed a great choice to keep at home. However, Clivia miniata may look good but is not that easy to cultivate.
It's easy to keep Clivia miniata alive, but difficult to cultivate it well. Just the task of keeping the leaves neat is quite challenging.

But the reality for many enthusiasts is that their Clivia miniata either barely survives without blooming, or becomes僵化 after blooming once, no longer growing, let alone blooming. This actually has a lot to do with our care.
Caring for the roots of Clivia miniata first
As the saying goes, "First care for the roots when growing flowers." Nowadays, flower shops and nurseries focus more on flowers, but when growing flowers at home, we should prioritize caring for the roots.
In our home environment, growing flowers is different from professional nurseries that can provide the most suitable growing conditions. Therefore, the root system is crucial. For Clivia miniata, paying attention to the growth of its roots is much more important than whether it blooms or not.

Merely using fertilizers to force blooming without considering whether the Clivia miniata's root system is healthy will lead to no avail. Conversely, if the roots of Clivia miniata are healthy, blooming will be a natural occurrence.
For Clivia miniata that has been grown for many years and shows growth stagnation, one should check the root system to see if the roots have filled the pot. If the roots have filled the soil of the pot and absorbed most of it, watering and fertilizing will have little effect, and it will be difficult for the plant to grow healthily.
It is timely to repot the Clivia miniata, change the soil, and trim the roots appropriately, cutting off the rotten and overly old or long roots. The new roots will have stronger absorption of nutrients and water.
Using good soil can achieve twice the result with half the effort
