Cultural Tips for those new to clivia in the U.S.

It's now mid December and in most of North America the rest period for Clivia has started. It is time to cut back on watering and give the plants a period of cold rest. The temperature in the greenhouse has been set at 50F and it will remain there until March. If you live in a cold climate, but only have room in the house for your clivia, you can place them in the garage if it does not freeze there. If that is not an option, try placing them close to a window that does not have direct sun. Don't let the leaves touch the window as they could get a freeze burn. Without a cold rest period clivia bloom very erratically and with varying degrees of scape formation. This rest period shoudl be eight to twelve weeks.
