How to revitalize the roots of Clivia MiniataThis article provides an introduction to Clivia Miniata root revival and describes methods for promoting rapid root growth in this green plant. Please see the detailed introduction below.Key points: Root revival in Clivia Miniata usually involves plants with rotten roots or weak, rigid seedlings. Of course, if the roots of Clivia Miniata are too long, we can cut them to propagate new plants and encourage root growth again. The more new roots, the better the growth. For netizens who have failed to promote root growth several times, common substrates used for root revival include sphagnum moss, coarse sand, and wood shavings. Today, we will mainly share how to use wood shavings for Clivia Miniata root revival.A picture tutorial for Clivia Miniata root revival using wood shavings, the speed of root revival may surprise you1. Cut the thick rootsGenerally, root revival is done on Clivia Miniata with rotten roots, and the tutorial I share with you is for root revival after cutting the thick roots. As shown in the figure below, the thick roots are the robust root structures. The longer the thick roots, the poorer the vitality, so it is recommended to cut the thick roots for root revival, but don't cut them completely, leaving some roots for faster revival.2. DisinfectionAfter cutting the thick roots, they should be disinfected. Of course, the cut thick roots should not be discarded, as they can also sprout new buds using wood shavings to obtain new seedlings. Disinfection can be done by directly soaking in a diluted carbendazim solution. After disinfection, hang the roots upside down to dry the moisture. I suggest waiting until the wound turns slightly brown before using wood shavings to deeply bury the roots.3. Root revival with wood shavingsThe wood shavings should be treated before use. Don't use the freshly obtained wood shavings directly. My method is to first boil them in hot water, then drain and expose them to sunlight. After a few days in the sun, the smell of pine resin will disappear. Once odorless, they can be used directly. In fact, the root revival ability of wood shavings is as good as that of sphagnum moss, and the effect is very good. After treating the sphagnum moss, simply bury the roots in the wood shavings. The key point lies in the later care. There is no need to fertilize, avoid direct sunlight, and simply keep the wood shavings moist in a place with diffused light.How to revitalize the roots of Clivia Miniata4. Root growth after 20 daysThe root revival with wood shavings is also related to temperature. In winter, the roots grow slower, while in autumn, they grow faster. The figure below shows the specific situation in spring, only about 20 days. When we dug them up to check the roots, we could see many new roots had emerged. This might be due to the fact that a rooting hormone was used during the treatment. With new roots, the old roots were pruned completely.5. Root growth after three monthsWith the passage of time and care, the figure below shows the root growth after three months. The roots are very vigorous. After seeing the roots at 20 days, the later care strategy was changed. The wood shavings were kept moist and dry, alternating between wet and dry, and thin fertilizer was watered regularly. The roots really grew fast.6. Root growth after six monthsAfter half a year, the roots are very vigorous. At this point, the pot can be changed and the soil replaced, as the wood shavings alone can no longer meet the growth needs of the roots. Once the roots are vigorous, they can be directly repotted with new soil. For the soil mixture of Clivia Miniata, consider permeability and breathability when mixing, as well as nutritional value. Generally, a mixture of humus soil, brick particles, granular soil, peanut shells, and coconut bran is used.In conclusion: In the above tutorial on using wood shavings for Clivia Miniata root revival, there are two key points to note during the operation process. First, both the wood shavings and the Clivia Miniata wound should be disinfected. Second, the later care involves keeping the wood shavings moist in the early stage and keeping them slightly dry and wet after root growth, watering thoroughly, and applying nutrients regularly. Once the roots are vigorous, simply change the pot for maintenance.The detailed introduction on how to revitalize the roots of Clivia Miniata and the methods for promoting rapid root growth, have you understood them?
