Why can't you repot a clivia in summer? The reason is here

Yesterday a flower friend left a message for Chengcheng, asking whether a clivia can be repotted now?

Chengcheng tells everyone today: it is best not to repot a clivia in summer, because once summer comes, the clivia enters a semi-dormant state, and at this time its growth becomes very slow, or even stops altogether.

If you repot it at this stage, the roots recover very slowly, and when the roots recover slowly, nutrients cannot be supplied in time, so if you repot a clivia in summer, it very easily develops yellow leaves.

Moreover, when the roots recover slowly, they cannot absorb water from the soil in time, and if the water in the soil cannot evaporate for a long time, and it happens to coincide with hot, muggy weather, plus poor ventilation, under these conditions the clivia very easily suffers root rot.

So it is best not to repot a clivia in summer. Wait a little longer, and once the weather turns cool in autumn, repot it then. What's more, autumn is actually the most suitable time to repot a clivia, because spring and autumn are the peak growing seasons for clivias, and they recover fairly quickly.

Repotting in autumn has another benefit. Everyone knows that the flowering period of a clivia is in winter or early spring. If you give it fertile soil in autumn, it is very helpful for it to bloom in winter. When winter comes, be sure to increase the day-night temperature difference (around 10 degrees), and give it a moderate application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, then we just wait to see the flowers!
