The leaves on mine were really long. I inherited this plant from a friend 2 years ago. It was in full bloom when I got it--and it bloomed for me both Summers since. BUT--This Summer--the blooms were much smaller. I think that is what prompted me to go ahead and divide it. I think it needed it!

The plant I got was almost 35 years old and had never been divided or Fertilized.

What DO you fertilize these with?

Re the watering--please go to PF and look up Clivia and read all the comments that follow. There are many--but so informative. It was in one of those comments that said not to water it in the Winter months.

As it is--my potted divisions are spending the winter down in my shop under a 4' shop light. I turn it off at night and on in the daytime. It is cool there too. Following the advice I read about........

...excuse the junk--it IS a Shop and a catch-all!
