Clivia

Latin name:

Clivia miniata

Family:

Amaryllidaceae

Size available: 6"

Note: Clivia Miniata originates from South Africa. This potted plant, when fully grown will flower up to two times a year. It is suitable for growing as a houseplant or outdoors in a frost-free climate. Clivias grow most actively from early spring through fall. During these months a night temperature above 50°F and a daytime temperature of 70°F are best.

Medium light : For best results, clivias should be grown in bright diffused light.

Light water : Feed every month and water regularly allowing the potting mix to dry out slightly between deep watering. During late fall give plants a short rest by withholding water and fertilizer, giving them only enough water to keep the leaves from wilting.
