Clivia miniata 'French Hybrid'

My orange clivia flowers each spring. I think it's helped me to bear in mind that clivias are related to amaryllis and have similar cultural requirements. Both prefer to be kept potbound and require a 'rest period' if you'd like to get them to rebloom. To rest a clivia, give it several months of cool (50-65 F) conditions, bright light (the opposite of what you'd do for an amaryllis) and very little water.

This is a very easy plant to grow. I grow it indoors in the winter and outdoors in the summer. It's not fussy about water except it should not be overwatered or left in the rain for extended periods. Regarding the flowering, this plant flowers best when potbound.

I have had this plant for many years and never flowered. I divided it some years ago so I ended up with two plants same story never flowered, so I decided to give one of them to my aunt and it has never failed to flower at her house. Any tips for flowering clivias?

My original plant which I purchased in a nursery several years ago flowering has never bloomed for me. Plant has multiplied tremendiously. Have others which were given to me as gifts and have no problem getting them to flower during the summer time while outside. Any suggestions for the plant that won't flower ?
