If you want flowers from your Clivia, do this in the autumn/winter season.
I love Clivia, they're an incredibly luxuriant houseplant with thick green foliage. And if grown correctly, they'll grace you with their vibrant flowers in shades of orange and yellow. In this video I'll walk you through exactly what sort of care they need including sunlight exposure, watering, soil substrate, and fertilizer. I will breakdown exactly what needs to be done to encourage flowering. And I finish the video by demonstrating how to root prune these plants for even longer enjoyment of their beauty.

Hi , this year my clivia is just starting its third flower stalk. Since spring arrived here in the uk it has started to flower. I keep it indoors as the snails were attacking it last summer. Beautiful blooms. Thank you for sharing the information .

Im a huge clivia nerd, Great video. Ive had success growing my clivia in orchid bark/ orchid mix. They LOVE airy roots, also prevents root rot issues I first encountered growing them. But this strategy does mean I have to water them more often!

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

Oooh cool I’ve never heard of that before but I can visualize how that makes a happy Clivia! Thanks for sharing

@pattyallen1994 5 месяцев назад

I am so glad to have watched your vid. I didn’t know to stop watering would induce it to flower. I will remember this. I did end up unfortunately, killing one beautiful one from my mom in law. So I am starting some from seed in her memory so hopefully they will do well Thank you

Hello Hello So good to catch your new video

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

@kellycasperhanson4426 7 месяцев назад

I really appreciate this video 🫡! I've walked past this plant at my local nursery for OVER TWO YEARS but feared it would be too light-demanding for a house plant in Portland, Oregon. I do have a huge south-facing window that may fit its needs🤞. It's great to know about its watering restriction. It will coordinate well with my cactus schedule 🌵. Knowing about the loooong wait for blooms is important. I'm definitely an impatient plant mom, but clivia's blooms seem worth the wait ⏳️. Thank you for this concise & informative video! (BTW, I'm absolutely in love with your plant room💚! What an amazing place to sit and read a book 🪴.)

@plantvibrations 7 месяцев назад

Hi! Yes a south facing window will be perfect in Portland. I’m really glad you found the video and inspired you to pick one up. I was looking at mine today thinking how STUNNING they look ALWAYS. And coordinating with your cactus watering schedule is excellent. That’s a great way of putting it. Cheers!

@kellycasperhanson4426 7 месяцев назад

@plantvibrations Wow! How very kind of you to send such a thoughtful reply💚!

@deegrows7589 10 месяцев назад

I’ve got a really old clivia (15 yrs?) and a 3 yr. old one. Had them outside all summer (cape May area) and plan to bring in soon. I always thought they needed really cool temps in their winter dormancy. I have put in dark garage and that didn’t work. So this winter I plan to just keep in coolest room I have (~67 degrees)

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

The coolness certainly doesn’t hurt, but I’ve found the water restriction is more essential

@Sainbury 7 месяцев назад

I have 4 clivia. The grower I got them from, (years ago,) sent a care sheet with them. He recommended that they be dry and cold during the winter. That has worked for me. But the leaves on mine don't look nearly as good as yours. I'm in Central Florida. I leave them out all winter unless we are going to get a hard freeze. You don't do a cold spell with yours. I may try a different horticulture on a couple that haven't bloomed yet. I got 3 as seedlings and one as a grown plant.

@plantvibrations 7 месяцев назад

Yes I just leave mine inside all year. In the winter my home is about 62 and summers about 76 so a little variation but not much

@BBQNBLUES 10 месяцев назад

Another Timely upload :) Just brought inside mine last night (tempts getting down to 50ish here... also zone 7b) Haven't had much luck with Clivia.. they just sit there, not growing nor blooming. Have been told NOT to mess with the roots or will cause a set-back ? Obviously not true after seeing your rough pruning. Re; potting mix. Also advised on mixing 50% orchid bark for FAST drainage. One year I kept the plant on the exterior South side of my home (protected from direct Sun) This year I tried the North side... no improvement ? Made sure the bulbs weren't buried too deep when repotted too. I'd be happy is it would just send up a few New leaves... blooms can wait :) ps. jealous of yours.

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

Hmm that’s really strange. I leave mine indoors in bright rooms and they thrive! The guy I root pruned has doubled inside since I filmed this video about 8 months ago. I do like the idea about orchid bark, it makes sense to me

@evanmogen325 10 месяцев назад

What is your fertilizing situation?

@mardiwarner2876 5 месяцев назад

I have my mother’s clivia that is more than 50 years old. Mine blooms in early February.

@plantvibrations 5 месяцев назад

@mollys1584 10 месяцев назад

Hi Devin! I read Clivias need 9 leaves before they're mature enough to bloom. Mine didn't bloom until it had 12 mature leaves.

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

I have never heard that before but could be some truth to it

@carmenarana7765 3 месяца назад

Hi Devin, i live in Florida, my Clivia Just finish blum. There are four plants in a medium plastic pot, I have the pot under a tree because there leaves are not happy with direct Sun. What kind of fertilizer she likes? Thank you.

@plantvibrations 3 месяца назад

You can use a slow release kind like osmocote

@GeneDixon-jn5yc 3 месяца назад

Hello. I saw a short video you can start a new clivia plant with just leaves. Do you start them in water or soil?

@plantvibrations 3 месяца назад

I’ve not tried before

@soundtempleAU 7 месяцев назад

I have few clivias in my garden but some tips of the leaves are yellow and dry. Should I cut the whole leaf or just the tips? Cheers

@plantvibrations 7 месяцев назад

If it’s just a couple leaves I normally opt to remove the entire leaf if the yellowing is annoying. You can trim off just the yellow but I never rly like how it looks. Try both and see what you prefer

@toms776 10 месяцев назад

Hi Devin, I had read to keep the plants cool during their dormancy period...about 50 to 60 degrees...is this true? This being said, my 3 plants did not bloom this year.

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

It’s probably not a bad idea. I keep my house around 62-64 in the winter

@rebecagaldon2956 4 месяца назад

Hi! I was given this plant as a gift but I don't know how to take care of plants. when I received it it was already in bloom, the little roots come outside the bottom of the pot. I watered once I week since then (two weeks ago) but now the flowers are falling :-( and the flowers are also more soggy ...What could I be doing wrong? The plant came in a plastic pot and I placed it in a bigger pot in indirect sunlight. Thank you!

@plantvibrations 4 месяца назад

Sounds like may be too large of a pot

@donnaer 10 месяцев назад

I repotted into a much bigger pot. Should I repot into a smaller pot? Should I separate the two plants in the current pot, or can I keep them together? Also, if I use a grow light in the winter, how many hours are good if they are dormant?

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

If they are happy you may as well leave them be. It’s truly your choice. A grow light for 8 hours should be enough during dormancy

@evanmogen325 10 месяцев назад

no need to separate, and a bigger pot is fine as long as they have strong drainage to prevent root rot. It will take at least a year for them to root into a bigger pot and probably wont flower until the year after. 8/9 hrs is fine

@donnaer 9 месяцев назад

@@plantvibrations Thanks so much. I love your channel!

@slong1688 5 месяцев назад

Do you mean if you cut those roots off and it will takes about 2 to 3 years to bloom again?

@plantvibrations 5 месяцев назад

They should bloom the proceeding year after root pruning

@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep 6 месяцев назад

I don't get why some say clivia need a cool rest when online it says larger plants are known to bloom in summer and fall on top of winter so they clearly aren't getting a cool rest before summer and fall to initiate flowering...

@plantvibrations 6 месяцев назад

that could be reference to plants located in regions where they can be grown outside all year long in the ground

@Planty-Mandy 10 месяцев назад

How long do the flowers last?

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

Perhaps two weeks but often flowers open in sequence extending the bloom time

Hello, I live in Ontario Canada and I inherited my mom's Clivia plant, it must be at least over 20 years old. I have had it for the last 3 years and it has bloomed once, in my care. There are three plants in the container. I feel that it needs to be reported but don't know what kind of soil it needs. Could you help me with that🙏

@plantvibrations 29 дней назад

A houseplant potting mix is fine!

@joanp105 10 месяцев назад

What a coincidence! I am now looking for a new home for my 9 huge Clivias. They all started with one 6” plant 35 years ago. Now they are all very large and thriving. They spend the summer outside and inside under lights in the basement due to many cats and dogs. They have bloomed magnificently every year with multiple large flower heads.

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

They are seriously such gems of plants!

@ktday5 9 месяцев назад

10:01 I live in North Carolina and I was given two large clivia miniata plants several years ago and each winter I have put them in my garage to winter over and they never get watered until they do start sending up the bloom stalks and I notice them. They have bloomed every year, beautifully! But one year I left one outside and it totally died back and I thought it was absolutely dead but that spring it suddenly put up a bloom stalk and bloomed! So, I have moved this year farther south, still in NC and I have decided I’m going to try planting two of the three that I have now outside and see how they do. Mine multiply in the pot so the last time I separated them I got five or six plants and I could do the same thing again now. I love them. They are so beautiful in the spring. Thank you for highlighting them and the great video.
