What are the reasons for Clivia leaves becoming wrinkled?
Usually, wrinkling of Clivia leaves is a normal physiological characteristic in the new-generation Qulan, Henglan, and the old Changchunlan cultivar "Ranchang" and other cultivars. In other words, all of these cultivars or their descendants carrying their genetic traits possess this characteristic. According to current aesthetic standards, wrinkling severely affects the ornamental value of Clivia and is an undesirable leaf condition.

So then, besides the above, wrinkling also occurs in other cultivars. What causes this? Experience shows that improper fertilization is a main cause. Applying large amounts of base fertilizer, side fertilizer, and solid fertilizer, although the fertilizer effect lasts a long time, the fertilizer ferments and its fertility is released all at once, greatly exceeding the amount of fertilizer the plant needs, and this period lasts a relatively long time. This causes prolonged excess fertility, putting the roots in an abnormal absorption state, leading to deformed leaf growth.
From observing wrinkled leaves, regular patterns can be seen. First, wrinkled leaves are never longer than normal leaves; they are all shorter than normally growing leaves, and thick and hard. Second, if a wrinkled leaf is spread out, its width is generally wider than that of normally growing leaves.

From the above analysis, the conclusion can be drawn that excessive fertilization is an important cause of leaf wrinkling. After discovering wrinkled leaves on a plant, measures should be taken promptly: replace with new humus soil and suspend fertilizing until new flat, smooth leaves grow.
