The clivia reacts relatively quickly to mistakes in care with yellow or brown leaves. The reasons for this are quite different. However, if you react promptly to the leaf discolouration, you can certainly save your plant.

If there is too much sun, the clivia gets yellow leaves

Clivia prefer a bright location, but do not tolerate direct sun well. The clivia also reacts quickly with yellow leaves to irregular watering or too much nutrients due to too frequent or too much fertilization. The root ball should neither dry out nor be constantly in the water.

Various causes of yellow leaves:

  • dried out root ball
  • too much sun
  • watered too little or irregularly
  • too many nutrients

tips

If you have watered your Clivia regularly and plentifully enough, then place the plant in partial shade for the time being and limit fertilization if necessary. So your clivia should recover soon.
