Clivia rooting too slowly? Throw in a small pill and thick white roots will sprout quickly
(Summary) Dear flower lovers, if you want the beautiful, upright clivia to root quickly, there are four methods. Among them, the water soaking method uses sugar water for soaking, the medicine soaking method uses vitamin B12 for soaking, the drying method places it in a ventilated spot to dry for a while, and the warming method is to raise the temperature so that it quickly grows roots.
Methods
1. Use the water soaking method
The water soaking method is a fairly common rooting method. First place the clivia seedling in a cool, ventilated spot and let it dry for about a week. At any time, take out the excess pseudobulbs of the clivia and place them in water to soak for two to three days. Then place the lower part of the seedling, about 1 cm from the bottom, in sugar water to soak for a day, with a sugar-to-water ratio of about 5:100. If you use this method for cuttings, thick white roots will sprout very quickly
2. Soak in medicine
The medicine soaking method uses vitamin B12, either the liquid or tablets, diluted, then place the stem of the seedling into the diluted medicine to soak. Be careful not to soak it for too long; a few minutes is enough. Or use a potassium permanganate solution, diluted a little with water, and soak for a longer time, about 24 hours. Using this medicine will not only speed up growth but also prevent rot.
3. Use the drying method
Clivia can also be grown hydroponically. First cut off the stem of the seedling, then place it in a cool, ventilated spot and let it dry until the cut is dry. Hydroponic growing not only roots quickly but is also easy to keep alive
4. Increase the temperature
When using this method, you must pay attention to the temperature. Generally the best temperature is above 35 degrees, but of course the temperature should not be too high either. The warming method makes it very easy for clivia's small roots to grow out.
5. You can also insert the clivia into river sand, keep the river sand slightly moist, and place it in a spot with bright, indirect light and good ventilation. In one month, thick white roots will come rushing out, which is especially delightful, because river sand has a very good root-promoting effect. Note that the river sand should be washed to prevent pathogens inside it
