What to do if Clivia leaves rot (reasons, what medicine to use)

1. Turning the soil and controlling water

Reason: Clivia has fleshy roots, so its ability to absorb water is relatively weak. If you water it too much on a regular basis, the plant will not be able to absorb the water and the soil in the pot will remain moist for a long time. The water will flow back and the leaves will gradually rot. In addition, applying concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer will also burn the roots of the plant and cause the leaves to rot.

Treatment method: In this case, you need to stop watering immediately, turn over the soil in the pot, and place it in a cool and ventilated environment. Alternatively, you can cut off the rotten roots of the plant, disinfect it, replace it with new soil, and repot it.

2. Medication prevention and treatment

Reason: If there are pathogens or insect eggs in the soil where the plants are grown, and a humid environment is created during cultivation, the pathogens will multiply rapidly and damage the root system of the plants. When its roots are damaged, the leaves will also be injured and can easily rot.

Treatment method: Dig the plant out of the potting soil, check which disease or pest is causing the problem, and then mix the pesticide into a solution that is easy to spray. Also cut off the rotten roots and place them in a cool place to dry. Throw away the old soil and use new planting soil for planting.
