A flower friend asked with a photo: the Clivia's leaves turn yellow and develop spots, then dry up bit by bit - what is causing this?

Looking at your picture, this situation is the most likely to happen in summer and is also one of the most common conditions. If you spot it, you should promptly cut off the damaged leaves. Keep the fresh parts; if you do not cut it off, it will keep rotting downward. Yours has already rotted down to the base, so what you need to do now is thoroughly cut away the yellowed, rotted areas, not keeping any of it. This situation is not caused by a problem with the root system. It has absolutely nothing to do with a root problem.

The main reason is that if you grow them outdoors, summer itself brings very high temperatures, and the leaf temperature is high too. If it suddenly rains, the rainwater is very cold. It lands on the leaves and does not dry for a long time. The spot where it dripped will form a yellow patch within a few days, gradually turning brown. If you leave it alone, it will keep spreading. Expanding. Becoming one large area of leaf spots. This has nothing to do with spraying chemicals; just cut it off promptly when you find it. If you grow them indoors, the indoor temperature in summer is very high, and if you water the leaves with cold water, the water staying on the leaves without drying for a long time will also lead to this situation.

This is the main cause of your leaves turning yellow and rotting. Handle it as I described and it can be solved very well. If it is winter, and water splashes onto the leaves and does not dry for a long time, leaf blight can occur. As much as possible, when there is no ventilation, do not let water splash onto the leaves. Only in this way can you grow Clivia well.
