Clivia question

I recieved 3 bulbs of this and know there is a green leaf sprouting out of each but the bulb is not all the way covered in soil and I dont really know what to do know. So please any advise is needed. I have never grown these so please HELP.

Clivias dont have bulbs but grow from a thick rootstock like Agapanthus do. plant it so it is just below the compost surface.

Thanks.

Sprouts,

Make sure it is well drained and protected from a freeze! It's really a pot plant in the Houston area!

Thanks Al I have them in well drained soil but didnt know about the freezing.

I have no message per se but would also like to ask a question about Clivia. I have wanted a yellow one for years but the seeds are so very expensive, are they easy to grow from seeds? Has anyone tried it and does anyone have a yellow one and is it as pretty shaped bloom as the orange?
Thanks. Southfork.

it is ans as far as I know they grow very quickly from seed. grow the seeds at 70F/21C. most bulbs take from 3 years to flower from seed
