Generally, cutting is the most common way of propagation for plants and flowers. Similarly, we can use the leaves of Clivia for cutting. This kind of Cuttage Propagation method is best for Clivia to concentrate on spring and autumn operation, so that the rooting speed of leaves will be faster, so that the growth will be more vigorous.
We prune several stronger branches and leaves from the mother plant of Clivia, and then soak them in the rooting water for a period of time, which can help them grow better and faster. After soaking in this way, take it out to dry, and then prepare the sandy soil with sufficient drainage and nutrition as the cutting medium, so that after cutting the leaves of Clivia into the soil, we can water it and put it in the ventilation place for maintenance, and it can grow roots in about a month.
Because the growth rate of Clivia is relatively vigorous, we can divide it into several seedlings when it grows lateral buds, so that when we change soil or basin in the next year, we can directly transplant several Clivia into new flowerpots and become new potted plants.
There are generally two ways to divide plants of Clivia. One is to wait until the plants grow big enough to trim the new seedlings, and then deal with their roots and plant them into the new pot soil; the second is to trim all the leaves above the soil of Clivia which is not growing well, and then disinfect and sterilize them so that they can continue to grow, so that they will grow from the incision. Grow a bud, thus can play the role of ramets.
In fact, the sowing method should be considered as a more troublesome way of reproduction of Clivia. We have to wait until the next summer when the Clivia grows seeds, and then the seeds will be picked down for planting, this method of growth will be slower, need patience
After we pick the seeds of Clivia from the potted plant, we need to remove the seed shell first, then prepare the planting soil, and plant the seeds evenly in the way of keeping the bud point downward, so as to keep the potted soil moist, the seeds will germinate in about half a month, and can be separately transplanted into a new potted plant when the seeds grow small leaves.
I don't know if you have learned the three ways of reproduction of Clivia. If you want to raise Clivia in the future, you don't need to buy it. You can make it more than one basin at home!
