What causes yellowing leaves on a clivia plant?

1. What are the causes?

1. Root rot: improper watering during growth, with too much water causing excessive water accumulation in the pot, leaves the roots unable to breathe, creating a suffocating feeling; over time the roots rot, and then their absorption and transport functions weaken, so the leaves naturally turn yellow. Applying too much fertilizer makes it hard for the roots to absorb, causing fertilizer burn, which can also cause leaf drop.

2. Excessive light: if the sunlight given is too strong, the plant cannot withstand it and gets scorched; the leaves not only start turning yellow, but in severe cases may drop.

2. What should be done?

You can check the condition of the roots. If rot has already occurred, you need to take the plant out, cut off the rotten parts, rinse them clean in clear water, then let them dry and plant them in a flower pot. If there is no problem with the roots and only the leaves are slightly yellow, you can change the care location, move the plant to a shaded place, and wait for the plant to gradually recover.
