There are many reasons for the rotting of Clivia leaves. If the amount of water or fertilizer is too large at ordinary times, the roots of plants will rot. if the roots cannot grow normally, the leaves will rot. It is necessary to stop watering, turn over the soil and keep it in a cool place, or cut off rotten roots, and use new soil for cultivation after disinfection. If it is caused by diseases and insect pests, it needs to be sprayed with insecticide, and rotten roots need to be cut off and put into the basin again.

I. turning over soil and controlling water

Reason: the root of Clivia is fleshy, so the ability of absorbing water is weak. Usually, the amount of water is too large for the plant to absorb, the basin soil will be in a wet state for a long time, the water will flow back, and the leaves will gradually become rotten. In addition, the application of concentrated or raw fertilizer to it will also burn the root of the plant, thus rotting the leaves.

Treatment: in this case, stop watering immediately, turn over the soil in the basin, and put it in a cool and ventilated environment. Or cut off the rotten roots of the plant, sterilize them and replace them with new soil, and then put them in the basin again

2. Medication prevention and treatment

Reason: if there are pathogens or insect eggs in the soil of the cultivated plants, the bacteria will grow rapidly and damage the root system of the plants when the moist environment is added during the cultivation. When its roots are damaged, the leaves will be injured, which is easy to rot.

Treatment method: dig out the plant from the basin soil to see which kind of diseases and insect pests cause it, and then mix the insecticide to make it easy to spray. Also cut off the rotten roots and put them in the shade to dry. Throw away the old soil and plant it with new cultivated soil.
