How is it that new buds grow next to the root system of Clivia?

After several years of potted Clivia, we will find that the roots of Clivia will grow many small buds, which can be used to breed new potted Clivia babies. Of course, if you appreciate them, you can cultivate orchids. However, if there are many pots, you can directly divide plants and breed them into several pots.

Don't rush to divide plants as soon as you find buds. It is suggested that when the bud of Clivia grows to 2 or 3 leaves, the Clivia should be taken out of the flowerpot directly, and then the soil should be washed clean, and the dead and dead roots should be pruned, which is beneficial to plant division.

After cleaning, cut off the buds from the mother plant with a small sterilized blade, preferably with a few, which is beneficial to the later survival. It is best to cut off the buds with one knife. If you cut back and forth, the wound will be uneven, which is not conducive to wound healing. This step is very critical. I hope everyone will pay attention to it.

After cutting the buds, the next step is disinfection. I usually use carbendazim to soak in water for disinfection. Of course, I can also disinfect with potassium permanganate. The effect is the same. The purpose of disinfection is to disinfect the wound, reduce the infection of germs after putting it into the basin, and then quickly heal to form calluses and quickly take root in the basin.

After disinfection, put the roots in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and cover the leaves of Clivia with newspapers to prevent dehydration by the sun. This is also a small coup, as shown below. Of course, generally speaking, as long as the water in the roots drips dry, proper dehydration is conducive to the rapid growth of the roots.

However, after disinfecting and drying the roots, Ou directly put Clivia into the basin for maintenance. After putting the pot in place, pour the root water thoroughly, and then put it in a cool and ventilated place to slowly raise the seedlings. No direct sunlight during potted plants will lead to rapid dehydration and death of seedlings, and Clivia can only be maintained normally after it grows new leaves.
