The leaves of Clivia have strong phototaxis. Under strong light, the leaves of Clivia will grow crookedly in half a day.

(1) In summer, straighten two or three leaves of Clivia, then wrap them with paper and clamp them with wooden clips on both sides. At the same time, turn the flower pot regularly so that the leaves of the Clivia will be neater. Just remove the clips in the fall.

(2) Usually pay attention to the placement direction of Clivia, point the leaves in the north and south directions respectively, and rotate the flowerpot 180 degrees regularly, changing the north and south directions of the two sets of leaves in turn.

(3) The leaves of Clivia are very phototropic. If they are not managed well, they are still prone to skewing, so the leaves need to be properly corrected.

Methods to correct leaf skew

First, use a small clip with appropriate strength (such as a small bamboo clip for drying) with soft paper to directly clamp the skewed leaves together with the straight leaves. At the same time, the crooked leaves can be corrected after a period of time.

The second is to use opaque tin foil paper or thin cardboard according to the length of the blade, fold it into 1/2 the width of the blade, and fix it on the blade with a hairpin or a razor-shaped pin, so that the leaf tilts in that direction. Fix it there, and the leaves will recover in a few days. During this process, attention should be paid to observation to prevent over-correction.

Third, when looking at the Clivia from the front, some have a large distance between the two leaves, and some have two leaves close to each other, you can use thick cardboard to make a set of boards, and open some spacing according to the number of leaves. A considerable slot, and carefully snap the blade into it. After processing and shaping through the above methods, the Clivia can reach the ideal shape of a line when viewed from the side and like an open fan when viewed from the front.
