Some netizens ask what to do if the leaves of Clivia miniata turn yellow? Why do the leaves of Clivia miniata turn yellow? There are usually several situations where the leaves turn yellow. If new roots grow from the axils of the lower leaves, causing the leaves to turn yellow, it is a normal metabolism.
One situation is that if no new roots grow at the axils and the leaves turn yellow, it is often due to poor soil quality, poor breathability, excessive fertilization, or improper watering, which can cause the leaves of Clivia miniata to turn yellow. If the roots lack water due to insufficient watering, the leaf tips will turn yellow and dry. In this case, it is necessary to water thoroughly. In the summer, a small basin of water can be placed under the pot every 7-10 days to ensure thorough watering, which is called the soaking method.
Another situation is that there are uneven yellow spots on both sides of the leaves, known as brown spot syndrome. This is mainly caused by relatively poor soil and excessive fertilization. Generally, the potting soil should use decomposed leaf soil, which has good breathability. Especially in the summer, fertilization should be applied frequently with a light amount of fertilizer, and be careful not to let fertilizer water drip onto the leaves to prevent the occurrence of brown spot syndrome.
Another situation is that due to abundant sunlight and high temperatures in the summer, if Clivia miniata is exposed to direct sunlight, it may develop sunburn syndrome, with mild cases causing yellowing of the leaves and severe cases causing wilting. In the summer, it should be shaded and placed in a ventilated area, with 50% shade being ideal. A layer of gauze can be used to shade the south-facing window of a home.
