It's pruning season for the flowers at home right now - one ruthless cut and they'll grow even more vigorously

Root rot is probably a headache for many flower lovers right now. If you're careless with watering in summer, by the time autumn comes you'll find they just won't grow, as if they're going to stay like that forever. Dig them out and you'll find the roots have completely rotted away! Some flower lovers know back in summer that they've been watering wrong and have a feeling root rot is coming - and sure enough! Haha, autumn is definitely not a season for dithering. Just take the knife to them directly, and it'll work for sure!

A perfectly good clivia, which should have had big fat white roots, now looks like it's grown into a taro!

Find a sharp knife and cut away all the blackened parts until white is exposed. If you see that some parts of the stem are still black, scrape those out too. In short, there's just one principle: it must be clean and white.

After trimming, soak the bulb in potassium permanganate solution for half an hour to thoroughly disinfect it, then dry it in a ventilated spot.

Plant the dried clivia in vermiculite or sphagnum moss (soil suitable for cuttings) to promote rapid rooting. After about half a month, fine white roots will grow, and at that point plant it into a flower pot!

Prepare new soil - the previous soil is already full of bacteria, so if you have soil at home, just replace it with new soil! As for the flower pot, you can disinfect the previous one and reuse it. Transplant the rooted clivia into the new environment, wait 1-2 weeks after repotting, then gradually give it water and sunlight!
