Here are some experiences related to the planting of Clivia Miniata in summer when leaves turn yellow and roots rot, introduced by the editor. Next, let's introduce it.
How to deal with the yellowing leaves and rotting roots of Clivia Miniata in summer
Previously, the potting soil used was decomposed leaf soil. This time, I plan to use peat soil. Using peat soil to cultivate Clivia Miniata, I have already conducted experiments in advance and encountered no issues. Look at this pot; its roots are particularly well-developed. At this stage, its growth rate is the fastest, and the particle size should be larger, preferably in the range of 10-30.筛除较细的颗粒,除了泥炭土之外,里面再加两份的珍珠岩。
Clivia Miniata is a plant that can be appreciated both for its leaves and flowers. Its leaves are green and upright, relatively uniform, and highly favored by plant enthusiasts. However, it is inevitable to encounter situations of rotting roots, especially with more plants and longer cultivation periods, especially in the hot summer. The placement location should be well-ventilated and should not have direct sunlight.
Besides watering its potting soil with a 0.01% carbendazim solution once a month, if you notice that its leaves are yellowing, drooping, or wilted, or the plant is unstable and wobbles when the pot is lifted, it requires our attention. I have too many plants at home, and this one is a relatively common variety.
Due to poor placement and lack of management, the pot will wobble when lifted, indicating that the root's grip on the soil has started to decline, the potting soil has become soft and sunken, proving that the root system has begun to reduce and rot. In such cases, it needs to be addressed promptly.
Now, let's remove it from the pot and see what the situation is. Just after taking it out of the pot, the entire soil ball has disintegrated, but its roots are better than I expected. Before taking it out of the pot, I thought there were only one or two roots left, which has a lot to do with my laziness.
I should have changed the soil for it, but because there wasn't enough potting soil, I didn't replace it. I need to remove these rotting roots first, and when the root moisture content is not too high and becomes soft, then change the pot.
As mentioned earlier, the previous potting soil used was decomposed leaf soil. This time, I plan to use peat soil. Using peat soil to cultivate Clivia Miniata, I have already conducted experiments in advance and encountered no issues.
Look at this pot; its roots are particularly well-developed. At this stage, its growth rate is the fastest, and the particle size should be larger, preferably in the range of 10-30.筛除较细的颗粒, besides peat soil, add two parts of perlite.
If not available, pure peat soil can also be used. Then, mix them well and set aside. Before potting, it's best to spray the prepared soil with a spray bottle to make it slightly moist because Clivia Miniata should not be watered for three days after晾根 and repotting.
Its roots, when extremely dehydrated, may cause yellowing or rotting leaves if suddenly given a lot of water. It's best to place ceramsite at the bottom of the pot. After晾rooting overnight, we first put some bottom soil in the pot, then fill the middle of the roots with soil, also known as the protective heart soil, and try not to let it散掉.
Otherwise, some roots may not be in contact and easily develop empty or rotting roots later. Hold the pseudobulb of Clivia Miniata with your hand, adjust the height, and fix it in the center of the pot. Then fill the soil around it, pressing it lightly but not too tightly.
Because this type of soil has good looseness, the decomposition rate is relatively slow, and the subsidence is lighter. Alright, this plant is considered planted. After planting, there is no need to water it immediately. Three days later, water it with a half-transparent spray. After another three days, you can water it thoroughly. This allows the roots to absorb water gradually, preventing yellowing or rotting leaves.
The above shares a comprehensive introduction to how to deal with the yellowing leaves and rotting roots of Clivia Miniata in summer, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
