Saving My 20 Year Old Clivia Collection

- I have had my Clivia plants for 20 years however, for the last few years they have been in my parents polytunnel and have not been doing well due excessive light levels, low temperatures and poor soil. In this video I replace the soil with a richer compost mix and place them in my conservatory which has more suitable light and temperature levels.

You got so many from one plant. I planted one seed in 2009, and my plant is nice looking, but the house is too warm so it has only produced a flower once since then. Can't wait to see the update.
They do take a long time to get to a good size, the one I grew from seed didn't flower for the first few years. Since making this video they have been in the conservatory at around 12c and the biggest one has just started to grow a flower shoot. Without a cool location over winter they are difficult to flower.
Best of luck with them I'm sure they will do amazing now. Look forward to seeing how they come back. Merry Christmas
They should be nice and green again by the summer, one has already started to form a flower bud so hopefully I will have some flowers in the next update. Hope you had a good Christmas.
Enjoyed this all the way from south africa🇿🇦
Have you seen these growing wild in your part of South Africa? I think they are native to the wetter eastern side of South Africa.
@@Gardeningat58N yes i also have them in my garden however i am struggling to get them to flower
@@deebonoko6818 The most common cause of poor flowering is too little light or not having cool enough temperatures over winter, although most of South Africa should be cold enough over winter to induce flowering, they need temperatures under 10c for a few weeks. Even below 10c at night but warmer during the day should be cold enough.
