Clivia
A listener wanted to know a little more about clivias – they are a good underplanting under the canopy of trees.
They need very little water in winter in fact any time as their fleshy roots can rot.
Feed with a teaspoon of slow release fertiliser and watch out for slugs and snails.
Lots of people grow Clivias and will find their plants having clusters of red seed pods after flowering finishes.
These are easy to grow, pick the fruit when the skin is deep red colour and peel the skin off revealing the seed inside which you can sow directly or put into a plastic bag with sphagnum moss where they will germinate with small green shoots.
