How do you tell if the soil in a clivia pot is dry or wet? Here's how to tell a dry pot from a wet pot

Clivia is a plant that is hard to describe. If you say its leaves are attractive, that is not wrong, but flower lovers who have seen it bloom may prefer its flowers - big blooms that look beautiful at a glance. During the growing process, many people water too often and end up with root rot. At times like this, Huahua has said many times that watering should be reduced, but many flower lovers still do not know whether the potting soil is dry or wet. Let's take a look below.

Many plants are affected in flowering and growth when given too much water, and clivia is certainly no exception. Generally, to decide whether watering is needed, you can try the weight of the pot. For example, with the clivia at Huahua's home, after planting it, first feel the weight, so you will know later whether you are watering too much. If it is too heavy, there is definitely too much water, and then you do not need to water. If its weight is the same as when it was first planted and not yet watered, then there is definitely no moisture left, and you can choose to water.

Then there is looking. Whether the soil is wet or moist should be something you can tell at a glance, right? If the soil surface is dry, water it; if it is not dry, do not water. If you really cannot tell by looking, you can also use a bamboo stick, insert it into the soil, then pull it out. If the color of the bamboo stick differs from top to bottom, then you will know whether the potting soil is wet or moist. When watering many plants, it is better to be a bit lazy than too eager.
