What are the reasons for the yellowing of Clivia Miniata?
Today, let's discuss the reasons for the yellowing of Clivia Miniata leaves and the causes of yellow leaves and their treatment methods in the field of floriculture. The details are as follows:
Why do Clivia Miniata leaves turn yellow? Avoid 2 "pitfalls" in maintenance to easily restore non-yellowing leaves.
When Clivia Miniata is cultivated at home, it generally does not develop yellow leaves. If yellow leaves appear, there are only two possible reasons. Today, Xiao Qi will tell you about the two causes of yellowing leaves in Clivia Miniata.
The first situation is that the leaves of Clivia Miniata start to turn yellow from the edges inward, or the lower leaves become yellow, which is all caused by a lack of nutrients. Therefore, we must ensure sufficient fertilizer when growing Clivia Miniata. Since its pot is not very large and the soil is limited, we must keep up with the fertilizer during its rapid growth, supplementing abundant fertilizer. It is best to use a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This balanced nutrition will prevent yellowing of the leaves. If only one or two bottom leaves turn yellow for a long time, it indicates normal leaf aging, and we can ignore it.
The second situation of yellowing leaves is rare, usually characterized by green veins while other parts of the leaf gradually turn yellow. The main reason for this is commonly seen in the north, which is caused by severely alkaline potting soil. Clivia Miniata prefers slightly acidic soil. If you are in the north with alkaline water and soil, this type of yellowing leaves may occur. If you encounter this situation, either change the potting soil for it or water it with iron sulfate. Mix iron sulfate with water at a concentration of 1:1000 and apply it to the potting soil. Do this every half a month, two to three times to effectively improve the situation. Normally, when growing Clivia Miniata, if the potting soil becomes alkaline, we should water it with iron sulfate once a month to prevent this yellowing from occurring.
Yellowing of Clivia Miniata leaves is generally due to these two reasons. If you place it in a location exposed to cold winds during winter, it may also cause slight yellowing at the leaf tips and edges. Avoid exposure to cold winds as much as possible. When growing Clivia Miniata, use well-draining soil, preferably slightly acidic. Water it promptly when the topsoil dries out, ensure adequate sunlight, and maintain sufficient fertilization. By doing so, we can grow Clivia Miniata very well, allowing it to grow and bloom as it should.
