Clivia not blooming and potting soil gone hard? Time to repot it right away

The hot summer is about to pass, and what awaits is the cool autumn. Everyone knows autumn is the harvest season - all kinds of fruits and vegetables are harvested at this time, and some flowering plants are no exception. Autumn is the happiest season of the year for them.

But Huahua recently discovered that although autumn is cool, the clivia (Clivia miniata) at home has started growing unsatisfactorily - either yellowing leaves or refusing to bloom, which really worried Huahua. Still, every problem has a solution, and Huahua learned that autumn is actually a great season to repot clivia, so anyone with a clivia at home should not miss this chance.

Everyone who grows clivia knows that its root system is rather thick and well developed, so over time it demands more nutrients from the soil, which means the original small pot simply cannot do the job anymore. If you do not repot, the small pot cannot provide enough nutrients, and the clivia will inevitably show yellow leaves and struggle to bloom. So how exactly should you repot a clivia? Huahua will tell you right now.

When repotting a clivia, pull the root system out together with the soil from the original pot, and only then remove the soil and tidy up the roots. Generally, when repotting a clivia, you keep the main roots and remove the other miscellaneous roots. If conditions allow, you can soak the roots in a carbendazim disinfectant solution for a while, so that the sterilization and disinfection will not cause the plant any discomfort after repotting. Finally, just fill in with a breathable soil.

Besides clivia, autumn is actually also a great season for repotting succulents. Everyone knows succulents are hard to grow in summer - once there is the slightest problem in care, they go straight into a state beyond saving. But once the cool season arrives, we can solve previous problems such as root rot and black rot in succulents by repotting.

The steps for repotting succulents are somewhat similar to those for clivia - likewise, first take them out together with the soil, then clean up the roots. However, when repotting succulents, you must clean up the excess roots from before, keeping only the stronger roots. You can also use a disinfectant solution for sterilization, but after sterilizing you still need to put the succulent roots in a ventilated place to dry, and then you can move the succulent back into the pot. Huahua wants to remind you here that when repotting succulents, be sure to handle them gently!!!

There are also plants such as spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) and asparagus fern (Asparagus setaceus), all of which can be repotted in this cool autumn season, and the methods are much the same as for the two plants above. After repotting, the plants and flowers have more room to grow, so you no longer need to worry about yellow leaves caused by an insufficient supply of soil nutrients. Huahua reminds everyone here: if your plant needs repotting, do it quickly, otherwise if you carelessly put it off until winter, then it will be trouble!
