When clivia leaves are corrected, opaque paper can be cut into the same length as the width of the leaves, and then folded in half to cover the long crooked leaves. You can also use a clip to clamp the long leaves on the leaves with normal growth direction. Or dig a hole as wide as the blade on the cardboard and insert the long crooked blade, which can also play a corrective role. The long deviation of Clivia is mainly caused by light change and no pruning.

Clivia leaf correction method

In order to make the leaves of Clivia grow evenly, the opaque paper can be cut into the same length as the width of the plant leaves, and the paper can be covered on half of the longer leaves to promote the leaves to grow in the direction without shading, and then the paper can be removed when the leaves are even in length.

You can also gently pull the long leaves with your hands to pull the leaves to grow. You can also use cardboard to open a hole with the same width as the blade, clip the long-deviated blade into the hole, change the growth direction of the blade through the movement of the cardboard, and clip the long-deviated blade to the normally growing blade through the clip, and the direction of the blade will gradually become straight.

Causes of uneven growth of Clivia leaves

Because the direction of sunlight will change constantly in a day, Clivia can't fully accept the sunlight, and there will be some parts with longer illumination time and some parts with shorter illumination time, which will lead to faster leaf growth and longer leaf length in the case of sufficient sunshine.

Clivia leaves are not trimmed, which will also lead to uneven leaf growth. Because of the poor light transmission and ventilation of plants, the whole life activity of plants is slow, and the transport rate of nutrients by stems will also decrease. When the leaves near the roots of plants grow, they absorb more nutrients and the leaves above them are malnourished.
