Do Clivia must be repotted in autumn, or is it okay not to repot?
A few days ago I posted a video about repotting Clivia in autumn. After seeing the video, many flower lovers left comments for Chengcheng asking why Clivia must be repotted. Is it okay not to repot? Let me tell you: for growing flowers, soil is a decisive factor!
The root system of Clivia is quite developed. Basically, after about a year of growth, its roots will fill the entire pot. Sometimes when we repot, we can find that the whole pot is full of roots, with basically not much soil left!
We can think about it: if its roots lose the soil they rely on for survival, can they still grow well? Without a doubt, they definitely cannot grow well! This is also why many flower lovers' Clivia grow slowly, or even fail to bloom after being grown for many years! So when we grow Clivia, if we want to grow it well, it is best to repot and change the soil once a year. Not repotting is definitely not okay!
In addition,Not only Clivia, other flowers are the same. After we grow them for one or two years, we also need to repot them and change the soil and the pot! Because after we grow them for one or two years, first, the nutrients in the soil have already been used up, which is what we often call the soil having no strength left, so we need to change the soil and supplement new nutrients!
Another point is that after one or two years of growth, this flower has already grown, and the original pot can no longer satisfy the expansion of its root system. It can no longer grow further. Only by changing to a slightly larger pot can its roots grow better, so that the flower can continuously grow new leaves and continuously send out new shoots!
Many flower lovers are afraid of trouble and casually do not change the soil or repot. This will definitely not lead to good growth. When we grow flowers, we must not be afraid of trouble. Only when we take good care of them will the surprises they give us be greater!
