The leaves of Clivia turn yellow, which is a common abnormal phenomenon in domestic Clivia. This is mainly a physiological disease caused by improper management. In severe cases, it can even lead to the death of the entire Clivia plant. Corresponding prevention and treatment methods can be adopted according to different causes.
Reason 1 for the yellowing of Clivia leaves: application of raw or concentrated fertilizer
The fleshy root system of Clivia is thick and tender, so it is best not to apply too much or too thick fertilizer or use unripe fertilizers. Organic fertilizer; otherwise, it is easy to cause root burn, which may cause the leaves of Clivia to turn yellow and the leaf edges to become scorched, or in severe cases, cause the whole plant to turn red and yellow and die.
Cause 1 and treatment method:
① Immediately increase the amount and frequency of watering and dilute the concentrated fertilizer. To prevent water accumulation.
② If the damage is caused by fertilization, immediately replace the pot with soil, pour out the plant, rinse the root system first, and cut off the injured roots, then apply charcoal powder to the wound, and then replant. .
The second reason why Clivia leaves turn yellow: Exposure to the sun
Clivia prefers a cool and humid environment. If the Clivia is placed in a hot and unventilated place, or is exposed to the sun in a high temperature and dry environment, the normal activity of enzymes in the Clivia plant will be inhibited, and the chlorophyll in the leaves will be destroyed, which will cause the Clivia leaves to turn yellow. , especially the tips of young leaves turn yellow or the edges of leaves are scorched.
Rescue method for reason 2:
① Move the potted flowers to a ventilated and cool place in time.
②Shade and prevent direct sunlight.
③Spray water around the Clivia plants and on the ground to increase humidity and lower temperature.
Three reasons for the yellowing of Clivia leaves: Poor drainage
Watering too frequently or long-term continuous rain will cause the pot soil to remain waterlogged for a long time, causing the oxygen in the soil to decrease. Failure to meet the needs will lead to abnormal life activities of Clivia, root system rot, causing the tips of young leaves to turn yellow, and then the old leaves to turn yellow.
Cause three and treatment method:
① Control watering immediately.
②Avoid rain.
③Stop fertilizing.
④ Frequently loosen the soil to increase the oxygen content of the soil, improve the absorption capacity of the root system, and promote plant growth.
Reasons for the yellowing of Clivia leaves: Drought in the soil
The pot soil is too dry and the soil lacks moisture. In severe cases, the old leaves of Clivia will die and the new leaves will become dry and pointed.
Reason Four Treatment Methods:
① Water appropriately first
② When the temperature is high and dry, pay more attention to balanced watering.
③After the Clivia gradually regains its vitality, it can be transferred to normal water and fertilizer management.
④Keep the pot soil moist and loose at ordinary times.
