It's needless to say that we all know how the leaves of Clivia become soft. The leaves of normal Clivia are straight and grow upward. And once the leaves become soft, it's like a person suffering from rickets, and the whole leaves droop.
In case of water shortage, the primary cause is too little water, but it may also be caused by too loose soil. When the soil is too loose, it is difficult to store water on the soil surface, resulting in water accumulation at the bottom and drying in the upper and middle parts. So we should often water, choose the method of soaking the pot, immerse the whole pot in the water, especially let the upper and middle parts of the pot soil eat water.
Clivia likes half Yin and half Yang. The Clivia in the room can't completely block the light, and can't be exposed to the sun suddenly. Under the sun, the leaves will respond to the stimulation. In addition, the water evaporation is faster under the sun, and the plant growth will naturally draw water from the leaves due to the lack of water. In daily life, put the plant on the windowsill with glass and screen window. If the back window of the home has good light, directly put it on the back windowsill without shading.
In the final analysis, there are two reasons for the softness of Clivia leaves: lack of water and strong sunlight. However, as long as you pay attention to the maintenance, the softness of leaves is a small problem!
