Preparation: the best choice for flowerpot is to choose a tile basin with good air permeability at the bottom. Humus soil can be used for spraying and disinfecting with potassium permanganate aqueous solution, as well as charcoal powder and knife. Method of Plant Division: take the mother plant out of the basin, if the plant is small, it can be directly broken off by hand, and the thick seed plant can be cut off by knife, and the removed seed plant can be watered in the basin for 1-2 months to produce new roots.

Flower pot

Family potting to choose a pot in advance, the best is tile. Don't care too much about the beauty of the flowerpot and ignore its practicality. Choose a tile basin with good air permeability at the bottom. As for porcelain and ceramics, we should not consider them. Poor air permeability is not conducive to plant development.

soil

When the soil is ready, it must be disinfected. Humus soil can be disinfected by spraying with potassium permanganate aqueous solution; fine river sand can be directly put into boiling water to disinfect, so as to avoid the infection and decay of seedlings by bacteria.

Prepare charcoal powder

Charcoal powder can effectively moistureproof, and it is bound to leave a wound when it is divided. Applying charcoal powder to the wound can absorb moisture and prevent decay.

A sharp knife

The knife used to cut the plant must be sharp to reduce the wound on the plant. Before use, dry the knife on the grindstone quickly to make the knife body hot and effectively sterilize.

Ramet method

First of all, the mother plant of Clivia is taken out from the basin to replace the soil of the root, and the root system can be divided by observing carefully.

If the progeny is long outside the mother plant and the plant is small, it can be directly broken off by hand; if the progeny is thick, it can be cut off with a sharp knife. Don't break it so as not to damage the young plants.

Next, the seedlings were potted. The planting depth is not easy to be too deep, so it is better to cover the base pseudobulb of the newly buried seed plant with a little disinfected fine sand.

After planting, water it immediately. After 2 weeks, the root wound healed and then covered with a layer of culture soil. After 1-2 months, new roots will be produced.
