If you want flowers from your Clivia, do this in the autumn/winter season.
I love Clivia, they’re an incredibly luxuriant houseplant with thick green foliage. And if grown correctly, they’ll grace you with their vibrant flowers in shades of orange and yellow. In this video I’ll walk you through exactly what sort of care they need including sunlight exposure, watering, soil substrate, and fertilizer. I will breakdown exactly what needs to be done to encourage flowering. And I finish the video by demonstrating how to root prune these plants for even longer enjoyment of their beauty. #clivia #indoorplants #houseplants #gardening

Hello Hello
So good to catch your new video
From California here..I love how you explain things!! so precise, apparent & easy to understand!! Just subscribed thank you!!
Great video as always ❣️
Im a huge clivia nerd, Great video. Ive had success growing my clivia in orchid bark/ orchid mix. They LOVE airy roots, also prevents root rot issues I first encountered growing them. But this strategy does mean I have to water them more often!
Good morning Devin . Thanks for the information about this beautiful clivia . Have awonderful day .
Beautiful plant. The flower is worth the wait ❤
What a coincidence! I am now looking for a new home for my 9 huge Clivias. They all started with one 6” plant 35 years ago. Now they are all very large and thriving. They spend the summer outside and inside under lights in the basement due to many cats and dogs. They have bloomed magnificently every year with multiple large flower heads.
Clivias are one of my favorite house plants! Thanks for the good information!
I repotted into a much bigger pot. Should I repot into a smaller pot? Should I separate the two plants in the current pot, or can I keep them together? Also, if I use a grow light in the winter, how many hours are good if they are dormant?
How long do the flowers last?
Another Timely upload 🙂 Just brought inside mine last night (tempts getting down to 50ish here… also zone 7b)
Haven't had much luck with Clivia.. they just sit there, not growing nor blooming. Have been told NOT to mess with the roots or will cause a set-back ? Obviously not true after seeing your rough pruning. Re; potting mix. Also advised on mixing 50% orchid bark for FAST drainage. One year I kept the plant on the exterior South side of my home (protected from direct Sun) This year I tried the North side… no improvement ? Made sure the bulbs weren't buried too deep when repotted too.
I'd be happy is it would just send up a few New leaves… blooms can wait 🙂 ps. jealous of yours.
Send this video to Sandra.
Hi Devin, I had read to keep the plants cool during their dormancy period…about 50 to 60 degrees…is this true? This being said, my 3 plants did not bloom this year.
I’ve got a really old clivia (15 yrs?) and a 3 yr. old one. Had them outside all summer (cape May area) and plan to bring in soon. I always thought they needed really cool temps in their winter dormancy. I have put in dark garage and that didn’t work. So this winter I plan to just keep in coolest room I have (~67 degrees)
Hi Devin! I read Clivias need 9 leaves before they're mature enough to bloom. Mine didn't bloom until it had 12 mature leaves.
I love cliveas Mine flowered a month ago.
Absolutely love your videos.
Thank you
