Is it normal for Clivia to have yellow leaves when it is just planted? What should I do if the leaves of Clivia turn yellow after transplanting?

Clivia is very common in our daily life because of its large size and thickness. It has a high ornamental value, and almost every flower grower has one or two pots at home.

What should I do if the leaves of Clivia turn yellow after transplanting? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

Is it normal for Clivia to have yellow leaves when it is just planted?

1. The survival time of Clivia leaves on the plant is about 3 years. As the old leaves are replaced by the new ones, the yellowing of the leaves at the bottom while the plant is healthy and normal is normal physiological degeneration and yellowing: the old leaves go, the new ones come, and the old leaves are replaced by the new ones.

2. The leaves turn yellow in some places and irregularly, which is caused by strong light burns, cold wind (air conditioning wind), wind blowing through windows, and insect pests. If the pots of Clivia are often wet, the insects will run around and it will be spectacular when the pots are turned over. This kind of soil insects will naturally spread to the leaves when they injure the roots.

3. The leaf edges turn yellow first and then spread to the pseudobulb, usually starting from one side of the leaf. This is root rot, which causes an obstruction in nutrient transport. If the yellowing spreads from the leaf tip to the pseudobulb, and there are browning and rotten leaves, it is mostly related to fertilizer damage or soil compaction and alkalization if high temperature suddenly draws out water. However, if excessive fertilization is applied, it should be judged as fertilizer damage.

4. There are too many reasons for the entire leaf to turn yellow, and it is common to occur during the high temperature period in summer: yellowing due to long-term lack of light, root rot and yellowing due to excessive water, poor ventilation and degradation of leaf transpiration, yellowing in the process of spreading from the leaf tip to the mesophyll in the form of water stains, and eventually the edges becoming dry, brown and cracked.

What to do if the leaves of Clivia turn yellow after transplanting

The yellowing of Clivia leaves should be classified according to the circumstances. The dry yellow leaves due to natural aging should be directly picked up and thrown away. If it is caused by lack of water and fertilizer, it is necessary to strengthen management in time, water appropriately, and fertilize reasonably. If it is caused by cotton bugs, snails, and other diseases and pests, the medication should be used in stages, use a small amount at first, and try again if the bugs are not killed, to avoid excessive use at one time that affects the glossiness of the Clivia leaves.

How to choose Clivia

1. The leaves that are upright are of the best quality; the leaves that are oblique and drooping are of the second best quality.

2. The best quality ones have leaves with a distance of two fingers or less between them; the wider or narrower the distance between leaves, the inferior ones.

3. The leaves with blunt tips are of the best quality, while the leaves with long and pointed tips are inferior. However, there are exceptions for some varieties.

4. Leaves that are glossy, bright, or shiny on both sides are of the best quality; leaves that are dull or half-shiny are of medium quality; leaves that are not shiny but dark are of the lowest quality.
