How Clivia Controls Yellow Leaves

There are several reasons why the leaves of Clivia gondii may turn yellow. In some cases, it's completely normal for the lower leaves to yellow when they start producing new roots. This is part of the plant’s natural growth cycle and doesn’t require any special action. However, if the leaves turn yellow without any new roots forming, it could signal a problem.
Most commonly, yellowing leaves are caused by poor soil quality, lack of air circulation, over-fertilization, or improper watering. If the soil is too compacted, it can lead to root suffocation, while excessive fertilizer can burn the roots and cause leaf discoloration. Similarly, if the roots don’t get enough moisture, the leaf tips may dry out and turn yellow. In such cases, it's important to water properly. During summer, you can place a small pot of water at the bottom of the container every 7–10 days to maintain humidity around the roots—this technique is known as "flooding."
Another common issue is the appearance of yellow or brown spots on both sides of the leaves, often referred to as "brown spot disease." This is usually caused by using uncomposted soil or applying too much fertilizer. It's best to use well-rotted potting mix that allows good drainage and airflow. When fertilizing, especially in summer, always dilute the solution and avoid getting it on the leaves. This helps prevent leaf damage and disease.
In addition, direct sunlight during hot summer months can cause sunburn on Clivia gondii, leading to yellowing and wilting of the leaves. To protect the plant, it's advisable to place it in a shaded, well-ventilated area. A 50% shade cover, such as a layer of gauze, works well for plants near a south-facing window. Keeping the plant out of intense sunlight will help maintain its health and vibrant color.
