This is the first time this clivia's bloomed, and I've had it for years. I think the secret is to ignore them. There's an abandoned building near my office that has a whole bed of them that bloom like crazy! They don't seem to like a lot of water, and they MUST have good drainage. It seems much happier since I put the ivy in last year, oddly enough. Maybe the ivy sucks up most of the water? I just put the ivy in because I was so sick of looking at the clivia's leaves year after year...LOL!

Yes, that's a little sago that I've had in about a 4-gallon pot for about 5 years. So far, so good!
