What the 'gritty mix' did to my clivia plant, plus more. Pics
Comments (27)THANKS everyone! I couldn't of done it without you. That is right. It was here and the friends that I have made that have made my growing experience better than I could ever imagine. For me, it is fun to come here and show you the rewards to your great support and my effort to apply what I am learning here with the wealth of info. Jojo: I am not sure.lol I do know that a Doctor that I met, and might I tell you a wonderful man, sent me rare Clivia this past fall, and I think there are Salmon and Peach in the mix. I can't wait to see what they bring me. They are all in the gritty mix, thanks to Al. I love the color too. Laura: I can't wait to re-pot my plumerias into bigger pots into the gritty mix. I have a surprise for you very soon:-))))) Jodik: Hello! I never gave it a thought to pollinate them. Hmmm. I would need someone to tell me how though. Thank you for your nice comments and I can include you as one that has made growing like this possible, year in and year out, everyday of the year! You are right. Light is a limiting factor and is such that they will double in size once they are outside. But I am glad that we can keep them in tip top shape all winter, while we wait for robust growth come soon! Looking forward to seeing your bulbs!:-) Hey Jess! How's it going? Thanks for that. I am still here if you need me to help you with that citrus.:-) Good to see you. Gail: You are so right, lol. It is that time of year you start to get a bit excited. I can't wait to see what yours do....See Morehave: have: clivia miniata from wild collected seed!

Comments (36)Give them light. Withhold water for up to 10 weeks. I wouldn't wait for a sign they're going to bloom. I have about three dozen, and they are several different kinds. Some bloom reliably in February and March. Many don't bloom until I put them outside. Since I don't really have a cold place, most of mine actually bloom in June after about two months living outdoors. I think the cold nights they get at that time help. Once they are about five years old, almost all of them have bloomed every year regardless of how I care for them in winter. One thing I think does help is to feed them regularly in spring and summer. I use a 3-1-2 NPK formula with all minors....See MoreHow to Propagate Clivia from Seed
Comments (13)Ok, folks, here's an update. I was first post on here on April 2, so I thought I would post an update now that I have some fair photos of my seeds' progress. I have seed from two plants, and all but two of them have sprouted. The two laggards are still in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel in a warm place, but nothing yet. All the others (except one) are happily sending up leaves. The one seed that is not showing a leaf is still looking good, but just has not shown a leaf yet. The first photo is seeds from my largest plant. This plant has given me three baby plants so far, an has three more that will be ready to take off later this summer. It has bloomed twice a year for two years in a row now. The second photo is seeds from the other plant that has yet to produce a baby plant, but produces blooms regularly. shihtzu4su, this is what your seeds should look like in about another month. The flowers below are one of the two plants. You can't tell them apart by the flowers, so I am sure all my seedlings are probably going to look like the parents. I am seriously considering purchasing a plant with different blooms to try my hand at breeding them. These won't be as fast as Daylilies, but no where near as slow as orchids.......
