Will Clivia sprout again after its heart rots? How to deal with it?

1. Can it still sprout after the heart rots?

Heart rot in Clivia is usually caused by improper watering. When watering, if you are not careful and the water flows down along the leaves to the top, or if it is watered directly onto the top, the accumulation of water in the top will cause heart rot. When this happens, it must be resolved promptly. If the correct measures are taken, it can be saved. If you take good care of it later, it will slowly recover and sprout new buds.

2. Treatment methods

1. Mild treatment method: If the center has just started to rot, cut off the rotten part. Then wipe off the juice with a dry paper towel and keep it dry in a well-ventilated place away from strong sunlight. The wound will heal slowly soon and then you can resume normal care.

2. Treatment for severe cases: If the heart rot is severe, simply break off all the leaves on one side. This will not only prevent water accumulation, but also reduce nutrient loss, allowing new branches to sprout more quickly. After that, you need to strictly control the water for two or three days. When the center position is restored, replace the soil with new one and replant it in the pot.
