How-to... Clivias - divide plants & grow from seed.

Clivias are fabulous garden plants for shady spots. They also have some of the most spectacular flowers around!
You probably know that they're dead-easy to grow but did you know it's very easy to get new-plants-from-old, to propagate Clivias? Let me show you just how simple it is to divide an established plant and to pot-out some fresh seeds.

Hi BalmainGuy, thanks for watching & thanks for your comment.

As with many things plant related there are many variables.

In my experience the 1st leaves will appear in anywhere from 2 to 3 months. I have had cases however where it has taken longer.

On another note the time they take to flower when grown from seed is quite variable too. Some say they flower once the plants have a certain number of pairs of leaves, four pair generally, others always say years - as a rule 3 to 5 from germination

No bad.... But you're not right with your last comment. They are so slow growing that it takes forever for seed germination to produce the first leaves, through to flowering.

Otherwise, not bad.

Thanks.
