I bought mine as a small, young plant with only 4 leaves in 2006. It has taken a little while to adjust to my "style" of greenhousing. Here, in 2008, it has finally started to flourish and really take off, along with 'Aztec Gold'. My collegiate / greenhouse mentor has grown orangish clivias for years, they always looked awesome in bloom. When the dragon flowers, I will post that picture.

My Clivia has bloomed once properly, and twice it has blasted--- bloomed down in the inside and peeped out, instead of growing up and blooming at normal height. The plant is flourishing, producing an offset with several leaves, but I don't know what I am doing to incur this annoyance.
