The leaves of the technician are light in color, yellow-green, pointed at the front, shiny, as if waxed, and very delicate.

How to identify the quality of Clivia varieties?

1. Look at the length-to-width ratio of the blade

Adult Clivia with a width of 9 to 10 cm and a leaf length no longer than 3 times the leaf width is considered top quality;

Adult Clivia with a width of 6 to 18 cm and a leaf length of 4 to 6 times the leaf width is considered top quality;

If the length-to-width ratio exceeds 7 times, the variety is very ordinary.

2. Look at the veins on the leaves

The veins have large spacing and obvious bulges, which are top quality;

The pulse patterns are hidden and irregular, and the hanging pulses are numerous and messy, which is a medium quality product.

3. Look at the gloss of the leaves

The leaves are glossy, shiny, and waxy. If both sides are bright, they are of top quality. If they are bright and half-side is bright, they are of medium quality. If the leaves are gray and dark, they are of low quality.

4. Look at the thickness of the blade

Thick leaves are of high quality, while thin leaves with poor texture are of medium to low quality. The best quality orchids are those with a leaf thickness between 2 and 2.5 mm; the best quality orchids are those with a leaf thickness between 1.15 and 1.5 mm.

Dark orange-red with milky white lining is the best quality; light orange-red and light tea-red are medium quality; dark yellow, light yellow, grayish white, pink, yellow with white, and yellow with red are all low quality.
