Clivia are really a shade loving plant, they can take a little morning sun
but like your experience shows they will sunburn with too much sun
they have very large roots & can take deep watering with long periods between
soooo in semi shade they could almost be called drought tolerant :-)
definitely a plant that does not require a lot of TLC as long as it is in the ground
Janice that is a really nice color on your Clivia
i have started the last year or 2 taken a liking to the variegated clivias :-)
& of course some of the hybrid colors
this is a link to the variegated clivias in PF http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/102080/index.html
