How to Plant and Grow Clivia

Clivia is a tropical perennial whose vibrant orange, yellow, or pink flowers resemble those of an amaryllis but are much smaller. The flowers grow in clusters of 12 to 20. The plant is also known as clivia lily, fire lily, bush lily, and natal lily.

This South African native is most often grown as a houseplant in the United States because it doesn’t tolerate direct sunlight or frost. Clivia is toxic to humans and pets.

Here’s what you need to know about growing Clivia.

Good winter morning...hope you are warm and cozy...my 10 yr old Clivia has bloomed once...we had to stick it outside for the summer while we gutted and remodeled our house...and basically forgot about it. Finally brought it back in during Fall and it bloomed beautifully the next year, but not since. Suppose I should repeat that next year!

Interesting about Clivia. Never knew but seeing a picture, we have a huge one in our church.
