Growing clivia from seeds

Pick the fruit as soon as it starts to change colour or when it turns soft. Open it carefully and remove all the soft pulp as well as the loose fitting membranes that keep the Clivia seeds together. Clean this properly and wash the seeds with an anti fungal solution or a weak solution of dish washing liquid.


Press seeds 50% into growing medium (I prefer cocopeat or cocohusk)
Place the pot in a shaded position and keep moist by watering once or twice a week with a fine gentle spray.
Close the lid and place in warm spot for 1 to 3 weeks until the seed has germinated. Do not water again.
