How to make the leaves of Clivia grow evenly? What to do if the leaves are uneven

1. How to make the leaves of Clivia grow evenly

Reasons for unevenness: If you want the leaves of Clivia to grow evenly, you must first understand the reasons why the leaves of Clivia grow unevenly. You should know that the leaves of Clivia have a strong tendency to move towards light. If the leaves on both sides of the plant receive uneven light, the Clivia will grow towards the side with better light, and eventually the leaves of the plant will grow crooked and uneven!

How to prevent it: If you want the leaves of the Clivia to grow evenly, you should place the plant so that the leaves are perpendicular to the sunlight coming in through the glass, and rotate the pot 180° every half a month. This will allow the leaves on both sides of the Clivia to grow evenly, achieving the ornamental effect of "a line when viewed from the side, and like an open fan when viewed from the front".

2. What to do if the leaves of Clivia are uneven

1. Forced correction: For old leaves that have grown crooked, experienced hands can correct them by pulling the leaves, but novices should not try this to avoid breaking the leaves. You can make a cardboard and stick the leaves inside to correct the leaves of the Clivia.

2. Shading correction: For the new leaves that are growing, you can cut the tin foil or opaque paper into the same length as the width of the leaves, fold it in half to wrap the longer side of the leaves, cover half of the leaves, and use sunlight to allow the Clivia to grow towards the side that can be exposed to the sun. Remove the shading paper after the leaves return to the straight side.
