What to do when Clivia leaves have yellow spots? Spray medication and replace the potting soil
Yellow spots on Clivia leaves are mostly caused by leaf spot disease. We can spray a potassium permanganate or carbendazim solution to eliminate it, and we should also promptly replace the potting soil for disinfection work. Soaking and root drenching can also achieve a very good effect. If the situation is not serious, the diseased leaves can be cut off and then the diseased plant isolated for treatment.
1. Eliminate the disease
Many people do not know what to do when Clivia leaves have yellow spots. In fact, it is mostly caused by leaf spot disease, and you only need to treat the symptoms accordingly. The most obvious sign of this disease is small yellow spots appearing on the leaves, which eventually cause the leaves to wither and turn yellow. Generally, a potassium permanganate solution or carbendazim solution can be sprayed, and after a few times it will gradually disappear.
2. Repot and change the soil
When yellow spots appear, the potting soil can be replaced in due course for disinfection work, and then observe whether the plant's roots have rotted or the rhizomes have become diseased; if so, cut them off promptly. After that, soak the roots in a potassium permanganate solution for disinfection. The newly replaced potting soil should have a certain degree of air permeability. Water thoroughly to settle the roots 1~2 days after potting, and place it in a cool, ventilated place to recover.
3. Soaking the pot
The soaking-the-pot method can also be used for root drenching. Buy a carbendazim solution on the market and pour it into a basin, then place the flower pot in the basin so that the soil fully absorbs the solution. This can, to a certain extent, let the roots receive treatment from the medication, promptly eliminate the disease, and reduce the appearance of yellow spots. However, note that it must not be soaked for too long, otherwise the roots are prone to rot.
4. Remove the diseased leaves
If the yellow spots on the plant are not serious, we can first cut off all the diseased leaves and then burn them to prevent the disease from continuing to spread and causing large-scale infection. If nearby plants show these symptoms, the diseased plants should be removed promptly, isolated, and given medication treatment separately until they gradually improve.
