My one, which has flowered so well for a number of years looks as though it's going to take a year off.

So pretty. I really would like to have one of these too. I thought they were just inside plants.

~hi Gilli ~
they grow outside where the temperature permits~saw them everywhere in Capetown where there was a bit of shade,it's a S African plant
from the RHS.
Clivia do best in bright filtered light in a conservatory or on a windowsill. Avoid direct sun in summer which may scorch the leaves. Place pots away from radiators.
Pot up in a well-drained, loam-based John Innes No 2 compost mixed with multi-purpose compost (25% by volume) and grit. Do not plant too deeply.
For flowers to form, clivias need a cool period of 10oC (50F), from November to February. After this, water lightly applying a balanced liquid fertiliser weekly until the flower buds form, then move to a well lit position with a temperature of 16oC (60F).
