stormy--

NO! These are the Orange ones....and they have never made any seeds for me..... I did see ONE pod! Not sure what is inside there.....
I have NOT watered them--and won't until the end of February--so NO mess--No fuss.....

The "Onions"--now--I DO water them a bit--off and on. They are all in clay containers but have saucers and trays under them. They have always survived this way for me.

The "Mother" Clivia is past history--only one of the 12 pots. I did put TWO divisions in the pot I plan to keep--so the "mother" will live on....It is the bigger pot on the right side table--in the back.

I do not plan to cut off the leaves--as all this is a "FIRST" for me. WHY do you ask? Do you?
I expect some of the leaves to turn yellow--but that might be because I so butchered the whole plant when dividing it.
Many of these potted divisions are already putting out new growth and leaves. It will be interesting--to say the least.

As for selling them--I wish! I know they fetch a good$$$ as they are kind of "rare"......The yellow ones, especially!

stormy--do you know you can sell Clivia seeds for some bucks? Just advertise it----like, 3 or 4/$10 +shipping.
Again--this is all "hearsay" at this point--not having done any of it myself--yet......

Don't ever sell any possibility short!!!!!! Just DO IT!!!!

Here is the bloom it had this Summer--NOT as big as in past years! But you can see the color.
