I have a clivia for maybe 10 years and I could not get it to bloom, I didn't know that they have a dormancy period so I'm trying that now thanks to your video hopefully this year it will finnaly bloom.
Hi, i have 6 huge clivias that were once one.. they grow like crazy but no flower.. only one did once.. i now use phyto light etc.. but still nothing.. am i doing something wrong?
If you leave the flower it will try to seed, thus you loose energy for future growth. Remove dead flower stem, no point risking getting any bacteria from a decaying stem.. You can actually remove some leaves if plants are too large, best done at same time as removing flower..
Hello and thanks for this video. I bought my Cilvia over a year ago and it is producing leaves but no blossoms. I did keep it watered during the winter and it was sitting near light but there is no sign of a blossom. I have it outdoors where it gets about five hours of direct sunlight and the rest of the day it’s definitely shaded. How often should I be watering it and how often can I fertilize it?
They can’t be watered in the dormancy period that could very well be part of the reason they didn’t flower. I would only fertilize after dormancy up until it flowers
Thank you for the informative video! I have mine for about 17 years but it only blooms once. The flowers were just stunning! I didn't know there is a dormancy period and wondered why it only bloom only once. Now I know. My question is, wouldn't the leaves dry out if I don't water it during the dormant period? Thanks
Exactly the info I needed! Thanks 👍🙂 I just inherited 2 from my deceased grandmother. Hope I can keep them alive! I have also planted seeds from one of them.
A friend just gave me one and I've been watering it (it's January) and it's blooming now. I guess I'll now know what to do next year, but I definitely have confused it's cycle.
Would it be OK to keep my Clivia plant inside my house where it's not actually "cool" as long as I don't water it....during its dormancy period, October til February/March? Or is it imperative, it be placed in a COOL location? I bought my plant from a nursery a week ago. It's good sized and it had already bloomed. She cut off the flowers but the flower stem is still there. Should I cut that stem completely off? Your video is very informative. Thank you for your anticipated response.
The flower stem will die back on its own. Left to it’s own devices the seed pods will form where the flower buds once were. As far as the dormancy most important is not to water it.
@@TylerMossop Thank you SO MUCH for answering my question(s) thoroughly, and SO QUICKLY!!! I totally appreciate your efforts and look forward to watching some of your other videos!
Aloha....mine is getting brown leaves at the end and some have a split in the foliage as if it were sliced. What do i do to correct? In the past I have just cut the brown off but want to make sure I'm doing this correct. Also how far back should i cut the old bloom off? Thanking you in advance
You can leave the leaves 🍃 alone, and make changes to the conditions (light, water etc.) - pruning if the conditions aren’t right could make the matter worse.
I have never known what plant I had inherited just treated as orchid like and done especially well with it. Now I know 😬 many thanks for your video, would you plant the whole seed pod ? Have one so thought I might give it a go x
@@TylerMossop just done some research, and have to pick red ish pods so I have a little waiting time if it gets that far. Soak when you have a viable pod, clean with fungicide dry off and plant in coir, perlite eye down cover with plastic bag to help with humidity 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.
Great question! Clivia should ideally be potted a few in a container, they like to be root bound, so only repot if you absolutely must, after they bloom so late summer, fall is best, does that help?
@@TylerMossop no, I didn’t mean you….I call nurseries all around me and no one understands what I need. No one knows what the plant is so can’t help me. Could you please give me recipe for what you use….please!
Yes, I understand. In the video, I explain that I use a bark, peat moss, coco coir and perlite mix, but don't give percentages or a specific recipe. And you want to know how many parts of each would work best. Correct? So there is no hard and fast rule or percentages. You can use any pre packaged orchid bark mix which ususlly contains perlite. Bark can vary on chunkiness, so if you have a finer bark you will need less peat moss and coco coir. Do you have all of those ingredients already? How chunky is your bark? You can try 2-3 part bark (orchid mix) to one part coco coir and one part peat moss (and another part perlite if not already in the orchid mix)...something like that should work fine. Feel free to send me an email with photos if that helps. Whats your clivia in now?
Hey man I think you’re super knowledgeable here and honestly I’m going to end up going back to your video for frequent if not constant refreshers 😂. I might not be sure or maybe I have not seen your recent videos but I feel like the pauses in your speech really are distracting/not helpful. You clearly understand the topic and actually provide meaningful content. You might be reading off a card or just trying to recite from memory but I feel like your materials would be more digestible if you talked more fluidly. Regardless thank you for this great video and best wishes hope to see you continue succeeding !
I think that’s kinda rude.. this is the first video of his I’ve watched and I found no problem with it. If it’s not your cup of tea, keep rolling on RUclips.
You don’t water them during their dormancy period. This is definitely connected to flowering and blooms. Are you meeting the other criteria or conditions these plants require?

Very helpful, I now understand how to look after my Clivia
Glad it was helpful!
Hello. My brother gave me two pots of these and I put them in my greenhouse. Same pots. And now they are blooming.

Awesome!

Thanks for the great video. What is the best thing to do after it blooms and the flower sags? Would cutting the sagged part off be a good idea?
I just let it be.
If you leave the flower it will try to seed, thus you loose energy for future growth. Remove dead flower stem, no point risking getting any bacteria from a decaying stem.. You can actually remove some leaves if plants are too large, best done at same time as removing flower..

You got some early blooms! Makes sense, but enjoy them while you have them

@@annebeginn2034 amazing!
Mine has gotten some yellowing brown on the new leaves. Is this to much water? I only water it once every other week
Could be - what kind of light is it receiving?
Oh my, i didnt know all this. I water much to much..😖 didnt know nothing about dormancy etc..
My clivia is still too young to bloom. does it still require a dormancy period ? Thanks! Gorgeous plant btw
Yes and yes
What kind of opting soil to use
What do you mean?
Man I follow you from Antwerp in Belgium. You are great I love your videos and also you are a gorgeous Man . Thanks to be you ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
What is the best time of year to repot a clivia?
Great question! Clivia should ideally be potted a few in a container, they like to be root bound, so only repot if you absolutely must, after they bloom so late summer, fall is best, does that help?
@@TylerMossop gracias
@@analemus9912 added Spanish closed captioning! Hope that helps
Where can I buy Clivia Potting Mix?
I tytpically buy the individual components and create my own soil mix. You can find each at your local big box store, nursery or online.
@@TylerMossop no one knows what I am talking about….ugh!
@@karenlund5312 OK what do you mean then?

Not sure if I killed mine. My 4 leaves was easy to remove. I was looking at the leaves and they were loose and I pulled it and I broke off :(
oh no!! Are there any leaves left?
@@TylerMossop no leaves. They all came off
@@lisalam2013 ok, yeah that’s a tough situation! Last thing would be to give it some time and see if any new growth sprouts up.
@@TylerMossop it was a baby to a mother. Do you think I was reported too soon? Not sure how long long it needs to be root bound before separating.
@@lisalam2013 did you see my Clivia Repotting video?
Definitely no water from October through February? I don’t want to kill them:-(
Yeah, I don’t water mine over the winter - once you start to see new growth in the spring pick up the watering again.
Where can I buy Clivias plants
Where are you located?
I got mine on eBay.

Do you sell your plant by any chance
I do not sell any plants, sorry 😅✨🪴
You say "flower" and "bloom" in the same sentence several times during your video. What's the difference between "flower" and "bloom"?
Awesome orange-yellow color. Like a creamsicle 😏😋
Omg now I want a creamsicle 🍭
