5. Pot soil

Need to prepare another pot of soil for its growth and development, then how to mix this soil? We can choose to use saprophytic soil plus sandy loam and river sand, and mix them according to the ratio of 2:2:1; or we can use saprophytic soil plus peat soil and half of garden soil to mix together; if we can't find these peats or are too lazy to prepare them, we can directly buy the cultivation soil of Clivia in the flower market.

Six. Basin

The bottom of the flowerpot is paved with a layer of permeable things, such as ceramsite or brick particles, or cinders. After that, fill the top with nutrient soil, and finally replant the plant in it, cover the mud layer, and water the mud layer through.

7. Maintenance
