What soil is best for clivia? Soil selection matters

Clivia is best grown in slightly acidic flower soil rich in humus with good internal air permeability. Specifically, you can mix leaf mold, river sand and cake fertilizer evenly in a 7:2:1 ratio, or mix peat soil and river sand in a 4:1 ratio, or mix mountain soil and small gravel in a 7:3 ratio.

1. Soil requirements

Clivia is best grown in slightly acidic flower soil rich in humus with good internal air permeability. Because its growth requires large amounts of nutrients, the flower soil needs to be rich in humus and nutrients. Because its root system is very well developed and requires enough air in the soil for respiration, it is best to choose flower soil with good air permeability for growing it.

2. Mixing methods

1. You can evenly mix leaf mold, river sand and cake fertilizer in a 7:2:1 ratio to use as its growing soil. Because leaf mold is rich in humus and river sand can ensure the soil's loose and air-permeable quality, it is quite suitable.

2. You can mix four parts peat soil and one part river sand evenly to use as its growing soil. Peat soil is likewise rich in large amounts of nutrients, and after mixing with river sand it also has sufficient air permeability, so it is quite suitable for use.

3. You can mix mountain soil and small gravel in a 7:3 ratio. Mountain soil also contains large amounts of nutrients, and small gravel can increase the gaps in the soil, making it easier for air to pass through, so it is also very suitable for use.
