Clivia

Question

Is it necessary (or advisable) to cut the flower stems off once the flower has died and the ‘seed pods’ appear? Thank you.

Answer 1

Since clivia is difficult to propagate, and division is the preferred method (seeds can take 3-5 years to bloom), it is perfectly fine to cut the flower stems back from spent blooms. Here is more information on clivia care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/clivia/clivia-plant.htm
