Clivia is elegant and noble, and is one of the most popular ornamental plants for people to grow. Placing it indoors can beautify the environment and purify the indoor air. However, it is not a simple matter to grow Clivia well. Not only do you need to master its cultivation methods, but you also need to prevent its roots from rotting during the cultivation process and understand how to deal with it after its roots rot.

How to grow Clivia

1. When cultivating Clivia, you must know that it is a shade-loving plant and likes to grow in a cool and ventilated environment. Therefore, when cultivating Clivia, you must place it in a place where direct sunlight cannot reach it. However, during its growth process, it is best to provide it with sufficient scattered light. In addition, you must control the temperature of the cultivation environment. It grows fastest in an environment of 15 to 25 degrees. Frostbite will occur when the cultivation temperature is lower than ten degrees.

2. In addition to providing a suitable environment for Clivia, you must also pay attention to the fertilizer and water site, and you should repot it once a year. You can choose to repot in spring and autumn every year. When repotting, be sure to remove the old and rotten roots, and replace it with new culture soil. After repotting, press the soil and water it in time.

How to deal with root rot of Clivia

1. If the roots of Clivia rot during the cultivation process, it must be treated symptomatically. If the root rot is caused by excessive fertilizer or improper fertilization, it is necessary to change the pot and replace the new potting soil in time. When changing the soil, all the rotten roots in it must be cut off in time. In this way, after a period of cultivation, the Clivia can resume normal growth.

2. If Clivia is not watered properly during the cultivation process, it is prone to root rot. It has well-developed fleshy roots and does not require much water during normal growth. If people water it excessively, it will cause water accumulation in the soil, which will cause the roots of the Clivia to rot. At this time, the frequency and amount of watering must be reduced, and the environmental ventilation must be increased to speed up the evaporation of water in the soil. After a period of water control, most Clivia with rotten roots can slowly grow new roots and resume normal growth.
