My clivia at home has not bloomed for three years; can I change the soil in winter?

My clivia at home has not bloomed for three years. In winter, changing the soil is not recommended, because winter is the growing and blooming period for clivia. If you repot it, it will damage the roots, cause the flowers to drop, and may even kill the clivia.

If you must repot it, then you need to do the related care well, mainly including: preparing the clivia pot, for which you should prepare a purple clay pot, a special pot for planting clivia, that is, an oval flowerpot; the flower soil should be mixed as a loose, breathable soil, and you can mix leaf mold, peat soil, turf soil, pine needle soil, and perlite in a certain ratio; root pruning and disinfection treatment, for which you can use potassium permanganate to disinfect according to the ratio in the instructions; watering after potting and recovering the seedlings, placing them in a cool, ventilated place to recover, and after the seedlings recover, you can carry out normal care.
