September 7, 2024Q.Why Is My Clivia Blooming In September, And Why Are The Blooms At The Base Of The Leaves Instead Of On A Stalk?
This plant is about 15 years old and gets repotted every 3 years or so. It is quite healthy and produces new leaves regularly. The last time it bloomed, the flowers were produced nested at the base of the leaves and crammed in there. It did not produce a flower stalk. The same thing is happening this time around. Also, this is an indoor plant and I live in northern Virginia. Everything I read says it typically blooms in February or March so why is mine blooming in September? Thanks.

Certified ExpertA.They can rebloom, and you may have provided the right conditions such as being rootbound and a cooler, drier environment. If it wasn't quite ready to rebloom, this could account for the short stalks. It also could be something has changed in its routine care or environment and has interrupted its bloom cycle.

March 27, 2025Q.Clivia Seed Pods
My Clivia bloomed. I tried pollinating a couple of the blossoms. So, how soon can I expect to see seed pods? Wondering how long I should wait to see pods before cutting the flower stalk

Certified ExpertA.I couldn't find the exact number of days to see seed pods but once the flowers drop off you should see some swelling where the flowers were if it was pollinated. Just leave the bloom stalk because this article says to wait a year before harvesting seeds. And it takes from 3 to 5 years for the new plants to produce flowers.
