Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
No, you should not repot it immediately. Clivias actually bloom better when they are slightly pot-bound, so it can remain in its 12-inch terracotta pot for a long time.
To encourage flowering, the plant requires a cool, dry winter rest period. Keep it in a cooler location, ideally between 50-55°F, and reduce watering during the winter months before the bloom cycle begins in February.
No, the Clivia miniata is toxic if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to cats, dogs, or other curious household pets.
This plant prefers a low watering frequency. Always allow the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings, and ensure the pot drains well to prevent root rot.
