Diversification. Some varieties of Clivia are easy to break leaves, such as dyeing factory, orchid and Eupatorium. There will be two parallel folds in the leaves of printing and dyeing factory varieties, commonly known as "railway tracks (like train tracks)". Two kinds of orchids will have some folds after two years, which can be alleviated by controlling whether fertilization is applied. But it should be said that it is inevitable.
2. "adolescence". Clivia with wide leaves has gradually widened by the age of three or four because the base of the leaves (commonly known as "seat") is still very narrow. It is normal that leaves will be pleated because of the limitation of leaf base. With the growth of Clivia, the leaves will be flat after 4 years.
3. Water temperature. Clivia is a broad-leaved variety. Because the water temperature is too cold, it stimulates the leaves to fold. This often happens when new leaves wrinkle. You can dry the water and make it close to the ambient temperature. 4. Hypertrophy, especially the fertilizer with high nitrogen content, promotes the abnormal growth of Clivia leaves and causes pleating. Generally speaking, Clivia prefers thin fertilizer and diligent application. I haven't seen your pictures of Clivia, so I have to list some common reasons for pleating and wrinkling. You can analyze it according to your own Clivia.
