1、 The roots are rotten, leaving only bulbs

Step 1

The remaining roots also showed signs of decay. They were resolutely cut off and shaved into bald monks

Step 2

Soak the bald Clivia bulb in potassium permanganate or carbendazim aqueous solution for 10-15 minutes, then take it out and put it in a cool and ventilated place for 12-24 hours

Step 3

Prepare some water moss and soak it for 10-20 minutes. Then take it out and hold it in your hand without too much force. Of course, water moss can also be replaced by coarse sand, sawdust, vermiculite and perlite

Step 4

Wrap the bulbs of Clivia with water moss, plant them in a flowerpot and place them in a place with astigmatism and ventilation, with a temperature of more than 25 degrees

Step 5

If you touch 3cm of the surface of the water moss, spray water when it is dry. Don't spray it on the leaf core or bulb, just spray it on the water moss. If there is water at the bottom, take out the whole and throw the water

Step 6

In about 30 days, Clivia can grow a lot of white and fat roots! It's very gratifying. At this time, it can be transplanted to soil culture. Of course, it's no problem to keep it with water moss all the time. Just pour some nutrient solution on time

Step 7

Take care to maintain for half a year and blossom. I'm so happy! Although there are few flowers, Huahua believes that it will bloom more next year

The rotten root is light. Cut off the rotten root

Step 1

For those Clivia whose rotten roots are not serious, just cut off the rotten roots, soak them in potassium permanganate solution and dry them for 1 day

Step 2

After the root system is dried, plant Clivia back into the basin soil and water it. Of course, the basin soil must be loose and breathable. It's best to put it in the sun for disinfection in advance

How to prevent root rot

 1. The soil should be loose and breathable

Clivia belongs to fleshy root system and likes loose and breathable soil. If your basin soil is very hard garden soil, Huahua suggests that you take advantage of the beautiful spring time to change the soil for Clivia. The soil can be prepared according to the ratio of rotten leaf soil: coarse sand: charcoal: base fertilizer = 8:1:0.5:0.5

Charcoal can also be replaced by pine needles, vermiculite and perlite. The base fertilizer can be chicken manure, bone meal, Castor seeds, sesame seeds, melon seeds, etc

2. Do not water too much

Clivia is relatively drought resistant. It's OK not to water the Clivia in Huahua office for a month, so partners should stop it. Water it once a month in spring and autumn and once two weeks in summer and winter

In order to prevent ponding, you can use the dip basin method to put the flowerpot into the basin containing water, let the water penetrate upward from the bottom hole, and take it out when you feel that the surface of the basin soil is wet

3. Fertilizer should be rotten

Clivia fertilization must be fully decomposed and fermented, otherwise heat will be generated in the process of raw fertilizer fermentation, which is easy to burn the root system and lead to rotten root

1. It is best to apply some fertilizer in spring and autumn. If it is liquid fertilizer applied with water, such as rice washing water, it must be fermented and diluted with water

In addition, there is also a special liquid fertilizer for Clivia on the market. Flower friends should also see the dilution ratio when using it to avoid hypertrophy and root burning. Light liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 2-3 weeks, not too often

2. If chicken manure and kitchen residues are used as base fertilizer, they should also be fermented in advance

If it is oil base fertilizer such as Castor seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts and melon seeds, it can be fried first and then put into the basin bottom. Note that fertilizer and Clivia root cannot be in direct contact, and must be separated by 2-3cm soil layer

Flower friends, have you learned

In the future, don't throw away the rotten Clivia casually

Throw it away. Maybe someone else can pick it up and blossom
