Clivia needs a lot of care and is very sensitive to watering and weather.....I would think twice before growing it again as i have failed once miserably :(

Tahir Hamad AK is growing Clivia and few other members are also growing them you can ask them to guide you, the Orange colour do well in our climate but the famous Mr Shahzad is growing more colours.

Clivias can grow here but they require special treatments regarding sunlight/watering etc...That is why i stay away from plants that need special care, same goes for orchids, they need misting/Soil less medium etc.. That is too much for a plant that will die even if it is neglected for a few days :lol:

About Clivia plant it in shade & forget it.Don,t even weed all the time & it will flower.But yes its very true it takes some time before flowering.My reds & oranges took four years to flower.I do not even touch the plants.Now they have started multiplying.
