Question
Hi.  I have a clivia houseplant that is only 2 years old so its still a young plant.  I was wondering when they start blooming.  Do they even bloom at all at this stage? My plant has only 10 leaves right now.  

By the way thanks for the info on my shefflera plant with the mushroom growing on it.  I have done what you suggested.  I am sure it will work.

Answer
Brenda,

It will probably take about 2 more years. Give it fertilizer monthly during the summer to grow the bulb as quickly as possible. Do not repot it as it will bloom faster if it is rootbound.
