    Pruning off the old flower stems and pods will encourage the plant to put it's energy into new foliage and flower development instead of spending energy developing seeds. Plants want to survive and seed production ensures survival of the species. Unless you want the seeds, remove them for the health of the plant.

    Clivia may need repotting every 3 to 5 years. They do not like to be repotted and will not likely bloom for a few years after.
    Yellow leaves may indicate watering issues; too much or too little.
    It could also be pests, disease or growing conditions.

    With these, you really want to avoid transplant, however, if you find yourself having to do it then it is best to only do it every 3 to 5 years. They really don't like to be disturbed. You should plant them exactly at the level they were before transplant. Here is more information on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/clivia/clivia-plant.htm

    You may prune them back at any time after the bloom dies. This plant requires a little help to re-bloom the next season, though.

    Treat the plant with Neem Oil. Neem Oil is organic and safe for people, pets and Bees.
    You can spray the plant and it can even be used in the soil.

    This can be a normal occurrence, and is no cause for concern. It does need roughly 12 weeks of a rest period after the blooms fade in order to flower again. That just means only water it enough to keep it alive, and not feeding during this time. After the rest period, you can go on as usual with feeding and watering.
