I've found a wonderfully shady, but filtered canopy light place to grow some clivia and some crotons together. Should make for some nice, bright color. Can I grow them together? I just read that crotons are acid-loving... I'd also like to add in some Coleus too.

Also I'm interested in getting different varieties of Crotons, how do you find them?
I especially would like to find some of the Picasso's Paintbrush variety
Here's a pic of one of my Clivia, I have about 8 of them to transplant.
They are in full bloom right now. Hope it won't hurt them to tranplant in this condition.
