What to do if Clivia leaves are wrinkled

1. Variety

Some varieties of this plant are very prone to wrinkling, which is unavoidable, but we can alleviate it by not adding fertilizer.

2. During the "rebellious period"

This type of leaves is relatively wide. After three or four years, the base of the leaves is relatively narrow, but the leaves have gradually grown longer and wider. At this time, the leaves will show signs of wrinkles due to the restraint of the base of the leaves. This is normal. We just need to wait as it develops, and after four years the leaves that grow behind it will be smooth.

3. Improper water temperature

This plant is sensitive to the water temperature when watering. The general reason for wrinkles is that the water temperature is too low when watering, and the leaves wrinkle because of the sudden stimulation. However, this situation usually occurs on newly grown leaves. We can solve this problem by placing the water outdoors to dry so that the water temperature is close to the ambient temperature.

4. Too much fertilizer

If the nitrogen content of the fertilizer is particularly high, it can easily cause the leaves to grow abnormally and become wrinkled after application. Therefore, this plant prefers to be fertilized more often, but at a lower concentration.
