How to Keep Clivia from Root Rot and Yellow Leaves: A Flower Shop Owner Teaches You to Have Fragrant Blooms Overflowing in One Month

I believe everyone grows potted plants at home. They are not only beautiful and elegant, giving people a fresh feeling, but many of them can also absorb harmful substances from the air, giving everyone fresh air. Take Clivia miniata (clivia) for example, it has always been loved by everyone and can often be seen in flower markets. Its flower language is "humble gentleman", "gentle and courteous", and so on. It also has symbolic meaning, which is closely related to its appearance. But at the same time, everyone shares a common problem: potted plants, for some unknown reason, develop root rot and yellow leaves after a long time, and they either fail to thrive or fail to bloom. By chance, when I went to a flower shop to buy flowers, the owner revealed a little secret to me. I went home and tried it, and sure enough, there was no root rot and no yellow leaves, and within one month the flowers were fragrant all around. Now I will share this little secret with everyone:

What is actually used is something every household has and is a waste product that everyone hates: the oil residue left in a range hood. I believe every family cleans the range hood once every one or two months and throws away the leftover oil residue. Now I am telling you, never throw it away again. You can put this "waste material" into the flower pot, and it is guaranteed to prevent root rot and yellow leaves, and within one month the flowers will bloom abundantly.

What needs attention here is not to put the waste oil directly into the flower pot, otherwise it will affect the plant roots' absorption and cause the plant to die completely!

First poke a few small holes around the edge of the flower pot, then drip the waste oil into the holes. Each time, about half a bottle is enough. My clivia was almost dead, and after using this method, it recovered before long.

Let me also provide some knowledge about clivia and water: for clivia enthusiasts, watering is an extremely ordinary yet extremely important part of cultivation. The leaves of Clivia miniata grow large and thick, with a high rate of transpiration, so it needs a relatively large supply of water; but the root system of Clivia miniata is a fleshy root, which itself contains a relatively large amount of water and does not need too much water in the soil. If there is slightly more water in the soil, it will cause the roots to rot.
