Harvesting and Growing Clivia miniata Seeds

Clivia seed pods turn orange-red when ripe (typically fall/winter in Northern Hemisphere).

Harvest and Sow

• Remove seeds from pod; wash off gel.
• Sow immediately in moist, sterile mix; press lightly.
• Keep warm (70–75°F), humid, bright indirect light.
• Germination in 4–8 weeks.

Damping-Off Risk

• Use sterile mix; avoid overwatering.
• Clivia Society recommends fungicide dusting.

Seedlings take 3–5 years to bloom. Offsets (pups) are faster for mature plants.
