What to do if the leaves of Clivia are very thin

1. Insufficient light

There is an old saying that goes, "All things depend on the sun." As a flower plant, Clivia is naturally more dependent on sunlight. Generally speaking, if sunlight is not supplied for a long time, the leaves of the plant will become lifeless and the flesh of the leaves will become thinner. Therefore, we should try our best to supplement the light so that the plant can carry out a series of reactions to supplement chlorophyll and make its leaves thicker.

2. Poor growth

This cause often occurs in the summer. When the temperature is high, the plant will be in a state of shallow dormancy. In addition, if the care is not very careful and timely ventilation is not paid attention to, the high temperature will cause problems in the growth of the plant. Naturally, the nutrients cannot keep up, the growth is poor, and the leaves will gradually become thinner.

3. Insufficient soil fertility

When the plants lack fertilizer and nutrients, the problems we mentioned above will appear, such as yellowing leaves, shriveled leaves, etc. Sometimes you may find that it has nothing to do with fertilization. After applying fertilizer, the plants seem to be unable to absorb it at all. At this time, it is very likely a problem with the soil. The soil has been used for too long and its fertility has decreased, making it impossible to absorb nutrients from it, which will naturally hinder growth and cause the leaves to become thinner. Faced with this situation, we can easily solve it by replacing the potting soil in time.

4. Too much water causes waterlogging

This is a very common reason. Many people know it, but still find it difficult to control the amount of water. In fact, there are some tips when watering: the amount of water can be determined according to the size of the plant and the size of the pot. In addition, before watering, it is best to touch the flower soil with your hand first, and intuitively feel the dryness and wetness of the soil. In this way, watering will not be wrong. Another point is that when adding water, it is best to carefully observe the absorption degree of the soil. Once water flows out of the seepage hole in the tray, watering should be stopped. This can effectively prevent the plant from having thin leaves due to too much water!
