Main reasons for the yellowing leaves and non-blooming of Clivia Miniata
A brief knowledge of green plants, introducing the topic of Clivia Miniata cultivation at home, the main reasons for the yellowing leaves and non-blooming of Clivia Miniata, let's get to know together next.
Main reasons for the yellowing of Clivia Miniata leaves are:
1. Bottom leaves turn yellow. It is a normal phenomenon for the bottom leaves of Clivia Miniata to turn yellow and fall off, so there is no need to worry.
2. Too much sunlight. This often happens in summer when the plant is exposed to direct sunlight or when Clivia Miniata is chronically short of water, malnourished, or in poor growth condition. Pay more attention to strengthening management and shade the plant from strong sunlight in summer.
3. Over-fertilization and over-watering. If the interval between watering is too short, the roots of Clivia Miniata will be chronically hypoxic, and incomplete fermentation of fertilized water or too concentrated fertilized water can cause root rot, which is directly manifested by yellow spots appearing on the leaves first, then large-scale yellowing until the leaves fall off.
Issues with Clivia Miniata not blooming: Normally, it takes about 4 years for Clivia Miniata to bloom when cultivated at home, and those with more than 16 leaves generally bloom normally. However, some Clivia Miniata do not bloom even after 5 to 6 years, and the main reasons are:
1. Poor daily management. Poor root condition and lack of nutrition. It should be noted that it does not mean that a lack of nutrition requires a large amount of fertilization. Poor soil permeability, excessive watering, too concentrated fertilization, or long-term drought can all cause root damage - root rot, leading to the inability to bloom normally.
2. Low temperature in winter. Below 15 degrees Celsius, Clivia Miniata grows slowly, and the blooming period is delayed.
3. Long-term lack of soil replacement, leading to insufficient nutrition and inability to bloom.
This article shares a detailed introduction to the main reasons for the yellowing leaves and non-blooming of Clivia Miniata, hoping to bring some flower knowledge to flower enthusiasts.
