Help my clivia has turned yellow on the middle to ends of leaves!?

I bought my first clivia from a plant shop about 2 weeks ago. I was unsure of weather to buy it because it was looking a little poorly as the ends of the leaves were turning yellow. I decided in the end to buy it as it was the only yellow flowering one they had. I repotted it useing a standard slow release potting mix and watered it well. It is in a constant shady spot so the leaves are not being burnt. The only thing that I can think of is that I went away last week for a week so it could have been dehydrated when I bought it maybe and me not being there for a week made it worse. Although I put some water crystals in the pot... I dont know please help it is such a lovely plant!

Clivias don't resent repotting, they hate it. They don't need much water and need to be pot-bound to bloom. You're killing it with kindness, give it a little benign neglect. One of my favorites. RScott

Reply:Check for amaryllis worm ... sounds like you got one or more in your plant. Check at the base of the leaves (open like pages in a book) if you find something in there that resembles fig jam (jelly???) the war is on. Get rid of it immediately or it will destroy the entire plant. I see our local gardeners stabbing them with a hat pins or any long needle for that matter... don't laugh it works. Only use insecticides if you are really stuck.

which may be able to help you. It is run by volunteers.
