Grasp the key 10 days for growing roots in potted Clivia, and 2 little things will make the roots burst the pot

Recently, a Clivia owner shared with a young gardener the process of repotting their Clivia. Seeing the big white roots of the Clivia in the owner's home was truly enviable. For many flower lovers, the big white roots of Clivia are much prettier than the big white legs on the street. The young gardener quickly went to ask him for root-growing tips. Let's learn together.

This is the root system of the Clivia in the owner's home: sturdy and tightly packed. While the young gardener was envious, I think the owner should have repotted earlier. Repotting earlier would have been more beneficial for Clivia root growth. Now it is clear at a glance that the pot is full, but it is still not too late. First, let's share his repotting tips with flower lovers.

1. "Little trick" for repotting Clivia

The owner said that for a Clivia with roots packed this tightly, he only trimmed it slightly and simply. He said that the too white and tender roots are very easy to damage when repotting. So when repotting, stop watering for 10 days before changing the soil. In this way, when repotting, you can handle it freely. I hope Clivia owners can learn this trick well.

2. Cleverly use "sand" to help root development

Next are his two "little things" for growing roots. The first is mixing a little sand into the growing medium. Sand is a good thing for root development. Especially when caring for plants with succulent stems and roots, we mix a little sand into the growing medium, and combine it with using a root-strengthening Huadong organic nutrient solution for fertilizer supplementation. In this way, Clivia is more likely to grow big white roots.

3. Cleverly use "charcoal" to help strengthen roots

The second "little thing" is charcoal granules. Many Clivia owners also know that charcoal is a good thing for growing flowers. Many flower lovers use it as a whole piece, but rarely do this: crush the charcoal into charcoal granules, then mix them into the potting soil. This helps increase air permeability, effectively prevents soil compaction, and also has a certain sterilizing effect. This is very beneficial for strengthening Clivia roots.

When caring for Clivia, everyone can learn the three little tips mentioned above: one for protecting roots during repotting, and two for mixing soil. These are all very practical little experiences for growing Clivia. Hurry and take out a little notebook to write them down.
