Wow I want one of those haha. She is so vibrant - I really should get some more flowers. I bet she smells good too!
ReplyDeleteHi Mer - no perfume I'm afraid but she makes up for that in beauty :-)
DeleteAh - just spotted - you are Som from Facebook :-)
DeleteHow do you get it to bloom? Mine refuses to bloom!
ReplyDeleteI have another clivia that doesn’t bloom, Nicky. I guess that the difference is the position. This one is on a south facing windowsill all year round. In winter the radiator below the window is obviously on. The pot is fairly small but deeper than usual. I think the roots like to be restricted but need the extra depth. Other than that it is fairly neglected. I don’t feed it and water when I remember. It’s often bone dry when I remember. :-)
DeleteThanks Sue. Mine's in a South facing window and similarly neglected! I might try potting it into a deeper pot and see if that does the trick. Thanks for the tip. Talking of tips, do you have any for getting a plant out of a pot with curved sides?! ��
DeleteDon’t use too large a pot, Nicky. No idea about extracting a plant from a curved pot other than smashing the pot!
DeleteBeautiful pictures for a plant unknown to me.
ReplyDeleteYou can get other colours, David but I only have this one

ReplyDeleteCheery for a miserable morning pals
DeleteJust gorgeous! What a stunning colour.xxx
ReplyDeleteJust what is needed in mid winter, Dina
DeleteBeautiful! Mine never bloomed either.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely plants nevertheless, Dave. The one that I have in a darker position has lovely dark green leaves but no,flowers
DeleteBeautiful. I remember that my mother had Clivia planted all along the path to her front door. Those bloomed every year for years.
ReplyDeleteStrictly Nan indoor lantern here, Michelle
Deleteoh my! That is a lot of flower and happy vibes for your money and I see another waiting in the wings. Great purchase. Enjoy every moment.
ReplyDeleteEven better, Carrie as the plant was a gift from a blog friend, Roger Brook. The green blobby thing is actually a seed pod not a bud. I’m intending to try and germinate the seed.
DeleteThey are lovely to have in flower this time of year. I have one that hasn’t yet flowered.
ReplyDeleteOur flowers fairly unpredictably, Brian. We never know when it will bloom.
