First of all, in summer or early autumn when the temperature is high, it is best to use breathable ceramic pots or plastic pots to plant Clivia. Large pots and porcelain pots are prone to water accumulation and the roots are not breathable.
2. In addition, Clivia should not be planted too deep . If there is too much water, it will easily cause root rot, root rot, and root rot. When planting, it is best to expose a small part of the root system on the soil surface. If you use soil, of course add leaf mold soil. Some river sand, or pine needle soil and the like.
Fertile, loose, breathable and well-drained soil is the best. It should not be too barren. Clivia likes fertile soil and should not be too compact. Its fleshy root system will be difficult to grow. The soil must be soft, breathable and well-drained.
3. When raising Clivia under high temperature, the first issue is lighting. Of course, it needs to be shaded and not exposed to the sun. But when the temperature reaches 40 degrees, not only shade is needed, but good ventilation is also required.

The fleshy root system of Clivia is actually in a dormant state in summer. Even if the evaporation is very large, you cannot water Clivia every day in the high temperature of midsummer. In fact, many flower lovers have tried it. At high temperatures, it can last for ten and a half days. There is no problem if you water it a little every month, it will still be in good condition.
So don’t be afraid of drought. If you water it every day in the hot summer, it will easily cause the roots to rot. You must control the watering in summer.

Second, the Clivia should not be planted too deep, the soil is too little , or the seedlings are still in the pot. The rhizome of the Clivia should be almost aligned with the edge of the flowerpot. Otherwise, if you plant it in the flowerpot, the ventilation will not be good enough. , the leaf center is prone to water accumulation and root rot.
Third, when the temperature is high, don’t water too much. High temperature, high humidity, and lack of ventilation are easy to rot. In summer, you have to wait until the pot soil is completely dry before watering it properly. Just be lazy and raise it.
