Reasons for Yellowing Leaves on Clivia and How to Fix Them

Common Causes of Yellowing Leaves on Clivia:

① Incomplete watering leads to insufficient nutrient supply to the roots, causing yellowing or drying at the leaf tips. When this happens, water thoroughly promptly, and then keep the potting soil consistently moist.

② Soil compaction with poor aeration, over-fertilizing, overwatering, or root rot can all cause leaves to turn yellow. In this case, repot the plant, cut off the rotten roots, and replant in a loose, fertile, slightly acidic potting mix.

③ Insufficient light: if Clivia is kept in a shaded indoor spot for a long time without any light, its leaves will turn yellow. Therefore, in summer, place Clivia outdoors in a semi-shaded, well-ventilated spot for care, and in winter, place it indoors in a sunny spot to grow. In addition, occasional yellowing of part of an individual leaf may be caused by cold wind, drought, wind damage, or heat from a fire, and these harmful external factors should be eliminated promptly. In mature Clivia, 1-2 outer old leaves gradually turning yellow is a normal metabolic phenomenon.
