Background---- My friend, Helen, asked me in 2008 if i would like to have a Clivia. I had heard of this plant but had never seen one. I said: "Sure!"....I was expecting a 6" pot or something on that order....and then she came--lugging this 40lb. plant in ONLY a 10" or 12" pot. HUGE! She said it had been her mother's--and she had 2 of them. It was at least 30yrs. old and, as for the time she had owned it--it had never been fertilized and that she seldom watered it. In the winter, she kept it in a sun room and totally ignored it. When I received it--it was in full bloom and it's roots were all over the surface and looping up. here is my gift. |
