What to do if the leaves of Clivia turn yellow

There are many reasons why the leaves of Clivia turn yellow. If the light is too strong, provide shade in time. If there is insufficient water, slowly replenish water. If you accidentally apply too much fertilizer, rinse with plenty of clean water or change the pot directly. If it is caused by normal metabolism, it will recover after a period of time.

1. Block out strong light

Clivia can grow normally under scattered light. If it is exposed to strong light for a long time, the leaves will be burned and turn yellow and wither. At this time, you should use a sunshade to shade it in time, or move it directly to a place with bright light indoors.

2. Water in time

Any plant cannot grow without water. If you don't water the Clivia for a long time, it will lack water and have difficulty breathing and other physiological activities normally, and the leaves will slowly turn yellow. Replenish water to the Clivia in time, but don't water too much at one time. Wait for the plant to absorb the water before slowly watering it thoroughly.

3. Dilute fertilizer

Some friends want Clivia to grow better and bloom more, so they often fertilize it. This is actually wrong. Once there is too much fertilizer, the plant cannot absorb it, which will cause fertilizer damage, and the leaves will turn yellow and fall off. If you fertilize too much, you should rinse it with plenty of clean water to let the excess fertilizer drain out through the drain. If the situation is serious, you should change the pot and soil immediately.

4. Normal phenomenon

When Clivia reaches a certain age, some yellow leaves will slowly appear as the body's metabolism progresses. There is no need to worry too much about this situation as it is normal. It will slowly recover with normal care for a period of time.
