Clivia plants,(Kafir Lilies) thrive indoors with bright, indirect light, well-draining soil, and a cool, dry rest period in the fall to encourage blooming. They are relatively low-maintenance and can be a beautiful addition to a houseplant collection.
The clivia plant is a relative of the amaryllis. It grows from thick, tuberous roots rather than a true bulb, though people often refer to the clivia bulb when they talk about these plants. The “bulb” generally grows slowly. However, it’s a plant that will last you for decades. It doesn’t deteriorate with age: on the contrary, these plants produce beautiful flowers and only increase in beauty with age.
You can use clivia plants to add colour to your home and they make a very good investment.
Make sure to never repot your clivia until the fleshy roots have entirely outgrown the pot.
Fertilize clivia with half strength 20-20-20 monthly during its growth period (early spring to early fall) and make sure to provide it with plenty of water.
To make your clivia thrive, it’s best to place it near an east or south window. It will promote good growth.
In the late fall and early winter you should make your clivia plant rest. Place it in a cool room where temperatures don’t go above 50 degrees F. While you keep the plant in storage don’t forget to decrease its water supply.
In mid-January bring your clivia to the light. This is when you should give them a good soaking with water. The plant will soon show new centre leaves.
