Clivia

This is a vibrant orange form of the South African Clivia and it makes a superb houseplant for a windowsill, out of direct sun. The shiny deep green leaves are complimented with heads of tubular blooms any time from Febuary until May. Grow in an open bark-based compost and water moderately, allowing plants to dry out a little between waterings, and offering very little water in the winter months. Truely one of the best houseplants around! Mimimum 10 degrees centigrade.
