The 'old gal' finally bloomed. The clivia had been growing in a fairly small pot. Roots were coming out the top of it. I'd always heard that clivias needed to be potbound to bloom. It was as potbound as it could be, but was still not producing any blooms. I got tired of looking at the exposed roots and repotted it into a much larger pot. Lo and behold, a bloom stalk began to emerge within a month's time. Here are the first blooms produced by my clivia.
Here's a closer view of the blooms.
What a pretty clivia. Goes to show you, you just never know.
Very nice! Repotting Clivia makes all the difference in the world.
That is gorgeous!
Ok, I was convinced, so I repotted both of my oranges and my yellow one today. Wish me luck!!! I hope it doesn't do more harm than good. That would be about right, repot it, then it dies!! It was nowhere near potbound, but oh, well!
