Dipsey,

Clivia is not widely grown - as houseplant. I use it as a landscape plant here in Florida and it is a trouble free plant.

The only advice I can give you is that it blooms best when pot bound. I am guessing that you don't need to worry about re-potting it until is stops growing new leaves. When you do get around to re-potting you will have to remove some of the root mass. I have friends that have kept houseplants in the same size container for years, but, I don't really know their technique. I don't have any houseplants - too much work for a lazy gardener.

I have the pale yellow, it grows faster and gets larger than the orange types, blooms better too. It looks almost white in this photo>
