How to solve the root rot of Clivia

1. If the root rot of Clivia is caused by excessive fertilization, you should reduce the amount of fertilizer as soon as possible, water it in time, and increase the permeability and air permeability of the soil to allow the fertilizer to evaporate as soon as possible. In this way, the root rot of Clivia will gradually improve.

2. Improper watering is also the main cause of Clivia root rot. Especially when watering too much, water will accumulate in the Clivia pot, and its roots will rot. The best way to deal with it is to increase soil permeability, ventilate in time, and speed up water evaporation, which will gradually improve the root rot.

3. If the Clivia is seriously rotten during its growth process, you need to take it out of the pot, remove the nutrient soil at the bottom, then cut off all the rotten roots, disinfect it with potassium permanganate, and then put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry for six hours, and then re-load it into new potting soil. This way it will allow it to grow normally again and the root rot will disappear.
