What to do if the leaves of Clivia are not neat

1. Adjust the position regularly

There are usually two ways to place this plant: one is to place it parallel to the balcony window, and the other is to place it vertically to the balcony window. It is worth noting that no matter which placement method is used, we should regularly rotate it 180 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. This regular cycle can be once every 7 days during the peak growth season and once every 10 days during the slow growth period. Because most of the reasons for uneven leaves are caused by uneven lighting, we need to adjust the placement regularly.

2. Manual trimming

If there is already unevenness, we can adjust it. You can use a small clip to clip the crooked leaf together with the adjacent leaf that is in the correct position. To prevent the clip from damaging the leaves, put a paper towel in the middle. After a period of time, the crooked leaves can basically be restored.

3. Lighting control

This method is relatively simple. We can prepare a few sheets of opaque tin foil or other opaque thick paper and cut them into the same width and length as the leaves. Then fold the paper in half lengthwise from the middle, wrap the half of the crooked leaf with the paper, and finally use transparent tape to stick the paper to both sides of the leaf. After about 10 to 15 days, the leaves that have grown crooked can be corrected.
