sunburn - now what

15 years ago

My clivia is in its third season. It hasn't bloomed yet, but it put out a lot of new growth this year. I put it outside where it was happy last year, and it got sunburned. I am positive it is sunburn, because the areas that yellowed were those that were not shaded by other leaves. Question: what do I do with the leaves now? Do I cut them off or do I keep them on? Will the plant sprout again?

Hi,
Keep the leaves on until they dry up. This is only a minor set back for your plant. Now, if all the leaves fried, then it is a major set back, but the plant will probably survive. Keep it shaded, watered 1-2 times a month until Nov., and some fertilizer with most waterings.

Take care,
Craig
