Know before you buy
Yes, this variety makes an excellent houseplant. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a spot where it can be kept away from direct, harsh sun.
It is specifically bred to excel in dry shade conditions, making it a perfect solution for areas under trees or on the north side of a building where other flowering plants might struggle.
Once the plant is fully established in the ground, it can handle occasional dry spells. However, you should still provide regular water during its active growing season to ensure the best foliage and bloom quality.
You can look forward to vibrant orange blooms appearing in late winter to early spring. This makes it a great choice for adding color to your garden when most other plants are still dormant.
Clivias require very little maintenance. You only need to remove spent flower stalks after the bloom cycle ends and divide the plant every few years to keep it healthy and prevent overcrowding.
The Belgian Hybrid Orange Clivia is hardy to Zone 9. If you live in a colder climate, you should grow it in a container so you can bring it indoors during the winter months.
