The tip of the Clivia Miniata leaf turns yellow
Do you know these? The explanation of Clivia Miniata care knowledge, the tip of the Clivia Miniata leaf turns yellow, the specific contents are as follows:
There are two reasons for the yellowing of the tip of the Clivia Miniata leaf:
One is poor drainage, which causes the absorption obstacle in the roots related to the nutrition of the leaf, and even the root tips have rotted, preventing the water and nutrients from reaching the leaf tip, which can be checked by changing the soil. If the roots are found to be rotting, they should be cut off promptly.
Two is possibly due to one or two fleshy roots' tips hitting the pot wall. Under high temperatures, the hot pot wall damages the tender root tips, leading to the loss of their absorption function, which causes the yellowing of one to two leaf tips. Changing to a slightly larger pot can solve this.
If the base of a single leaf of Clivia Miniata turns yellow, there may be two reasons:
One is that the related fleshy roots at the base of the leaf (G-Y) rot and lose their nutritional function, which can be solved by cutting off the dead and rotten roots during potting and removing the yellow leaf.
Two is that the base of the leaf is damaged, either by insects or mechanical injury.
Additionally, there are several situations where the leaves of Clivia Miniata turn yellow. If new roots grow from the axils of the lower leaves and the leaves turn yellow, it is a normal metabolism. If the axils do not produce new roots but the leaves turn yellow, it is often due to poor soil quality, poor aeration, excessive fertilization, or improper watering, all of which can cause the leaves of Clivia Miniata to turn yellow. Insufficient watering, lack of moisture in the root tips, will cause the leaf tips to turn yellow and dry. In this case, thorough watering is necessary. In the summer, placing a small pot of water under the pot every 7-10 days can ensure thorough watering, which is called the immersion method.
Another situation is yellow spots of varying sizes on both sides of the leaves, known as brown spot disease. This is mainly caused by poor soil and excessive fertilization. Generally, the potting soil should use decomposed leaf soil, which has good aeration. Especially in summer, fertilization should be thin and frequent, and it is important to avoid getting fertilizer water on the leaves to prevent brown spot disease. Another situation, due to the abundant sunlight and high temperatures in summer, if Clivia Miniata is exposed to direct sunlight, it may develop sunburn, causing the leaves to turn yellow or even wilt. In the summer, it is advisable to provide shading, place it in a well-ventilated area, and keep the shading at about 50%. A layer of gauze can be used to shade the south-facing window.
If the young Clivia Miniata turns yellow and has yellow spots on the leaves, it may have rotten roots, and you can check by breaking the soil. If Clivia Miniata has rotten roots, rinse with clean water, immerse in a solution of 0.1% potassium permanganate (to a light purple color) for an hour, then rinse with clean water, cut off the rotten part after drying in the shade, apply wood ash to the cut area, plant in new potting soil, and place in a well-ventilated area at 25°C. Avoid overwatering, and new roots can grow in about 30 days.
The above is all about the yellowing of the tip of the Clivia Miniata leaf. Have green plant enthusiasts understood?
