Clivia/Kaffir Lily
Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:256034
Clivias are extremely susceptible to exposure from direct sun if they
have been kept shaded. Your plant's symptoms are completely typical
of one that has been severely burnt. Move it into a shaded position
and when new leaves start to appear, apply a general purpose
fertiliser. The damaged leaves will not recover, but you should leave
them on until there is strong re-growth. In future, give your Clivia
50% shade from March to november, thereafter allow it to cope with
full light. They do not enjoy, nor can they tolerate direct UK sun
either through glass, or directly onto their leaves.
