Very healthy looking John, is Clivea a tender plant where you are? We grow ours out in the garden here and I never worry about them, tough as old boots!

I have three or four variations which I should photograph for the forum in the spring.

Hi Jamus it is a tender house plant here, do you get it to flower well? Here it is advised to keep them pot bound to get them to flower. I'm gonna have to repot it the year though, there's alot of roots coming through the drainage holes.

No, it's a typographical error!

Hi Ralph have I spelt it wrong?
I've had a look on google and answered my own question, it's miniata. You have to watch it with these Apple gadgets.

You can see lovely plantings of Clivia miniata outside in Barcelona, outside the Sagrada Familia for example. I assume these are permanent plantings where proper cold weather is rare. Unfortunately I only have this close up, no wider context shot :(

They flower very well here and seem to love our climate.

They just need a frost free dormancy over winter. Mine flower fine with 6C min. If they are kept too warm over winter here, such as what is now normal indoor temps then they are reluctant to flower. Before UK central heating they were fine but things have changed. I kept mine outside all summer last year (when no frost was expected). A bit of sun scorch but no other problems. They were forest floor plants in South Africa the only time I saw them in the wild. I have seen them as balcony plants in Alicante where I guess they rarely go below 10C.
Several in bud at present.

I remember seeing it (a very long time ago) as ground cover under trees in the Botanic Garden in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife.

I spotted today a flower bud on my very neglected, hopefully yellow Clivia, sown in 2007 :-[ :)
