Clivia Rhizome Tips

• Clivia Rhizome After planting, water whenever the soil feels dry to the touch for the first growing season. Once established, clivia is drought-tolerant, but it needs water for the first growing season to get established.
• Clivia grows well in a part-shade area and can tolerate dry soil conditions. The ideal planting conditions are morning sun and afternoon shade with deep soil and good drainage.
• When planted from tubers, clivia flowers in the second year after planting.
• Clivia Rhizome best in deep, well-draining soil. By adding compost at planting time, it both provides nutrients and improves drainage.
• You can divide clivia every two to three years to propagate and prevent overcrowding.
• Clivia blooms make long-lasting cut flowers and are ideal for indoor arrangements.

Warning

• Avoid planting clivia in a spot that gets full hot sun, as it will burn the leaves and damage the flowers.

Temperature and Humidity

Clivia Rhizome does not tolerate frost and must be brought indoors before the first fall frost. Provide the plant with ample time to adjust to being indoors, especially if there’s a big temperature difference.

As a houseplant, clivia does just fine in the low humidity of the average home.

Fertilizer

Clivia Rhizome During the growing season, fertilize clivias monthly with a water-soluble or slow-release fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, diluted to half strength, following the package directions.
