Here is the plant that started the Clivia addiction\u2013and it was a very long time ago. I\u2019m not exactly sure when my brother first purchased this clone\u2013possibly from Park\u2019s catalog\u2013but it was at least 40 years ago! I think that makes it the houseplant that has consistently been in our family the longest. He dubbed it Miss Clivia and we\u2019ve kept the name going ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe this plant is definitely a cultivar and not the straight species. The leaves are long and wide and the flowers are larger than I suspect the species flowers would be. However, the colors are very typical for Clivia miniate, with orange and yellow in a brilliant combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will work to add photos of these plants that represent their size and vitality\u2013\u201cMiss Clivia\u201d is robust, to say the least. I have a large rectangular pot with three divisions in it and then there are a few other seedlings off of her, as well, that (thanks to my labeling laziness) are impossible to find at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tim gave me a clone off of Miss Clivia about 25 years ago, I think\u2026maybe longer. I love these plants because they are tough, don\u2019t mind (actually LIKE) a cold spell in winter, and they put on a real show in the greenhouse in March\/April. I pot them in a bark\/soil mix and feed them when I remember through the growing season\u2013not too much because they seem to do better when they are starved a bit (and they grow too big and too fast if they are fed too well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My 2020 plans for Miss Clivia are to give them a spring cleaning and topdress with some good soil\/fertilizer. If I get the time and energy, I should pot them on into bigger quarters. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll get there this year\u2013but Miss Clivia won\u2019t complain. She\u2019s amazingly forgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
