  Why are my clivia leaves turning yellow with brown patches?

  Those yellow leaves with crispy brown patches are most likely from stress: too much direct sun and/or watering issues causing leaf burn and weak roots. Move it to bright shade, adjust watering, and remove the worst damaged leaves so new healthy growth can replace them.

  Why are the lower leaves on my clivia turning yellow?

  The oldest leaves at the bottom are yellowing from either normal aging plus a bit of stress, usually from staying too wet on a windowsill. Let the top of the soil dry before watering again, empty the saucer, and remove the fully yellow leaves.
