Question
Hi,

I have a mature Clivia that has independently spawned three new plants all in the same 12" pot.  I also have two two leave shoots that grew from fallen seeds.  Some of my leaves had what appeared to be brownscale which I removed two weeks ago with Clorox wipes (!).  It has not returned and the plants  seem none the worse for wear -- however, I am eagerly hoping for a bloom from the mother plant which was growing a shoot that seemed to have rotted six months ago.  I believe it was overwatered by a caretaker while I was out of town.

1.  Could this be related to the brownscale?
2.  Should I repot?
3.  Having never done the latter, if I remove from the pot, what's the best medium to use?
4.  Should I separate the family or keep a couple in each new home?
5.  What else can you advise?

Thanks so much!  Elaine

Answer
Do a google search for Clivia plant and go the second or third link listed from Shield's Gardens.  They have a wonderfully informative website all about Clivia care and culture.  I think you will find all the information you ever wanted to know about your plant.
