Summary
The Clivia Miniata, also known as Bush Lily, is a flowering plant that originates from the woodlands of South Africa. The plant has a history of being cultivated for over two centuries in various regions. It is one of the easiest plants to grow, rarely needing extra care. The eye-popping green of the leaves forms an excellent contrast with the color of the flowers.

1. Light and Location
Clivia Miniata grows well in bright indirect light. Preferably put them near a window shaded from direct sunlight.

2. Watering
These plants need regular watering to remain healthy. Wait for the soil to dry before the subsequent watering sessions.

3. Temperature
Room temperatures are the ideal temperatures for these plants. These plants are hardy enough to thrive in many conditions.

4. Humidity
Luckily, they need no special considerations regarding the humidity. They neither like nor dislike being in humid locations.

5. Fertilization
You can fertilize it monthly with a half-strength fertilizer solution. But start giving less when it gets nearer to the flowering season. And stop entirely in winter.

6. Propagation
Usually, stem cuttings from the mother plant are used to propagate these plants. It takes about three years to mature and produce offsets. You can use an offset with three or four leaves for division. The time to do this would be around the end of the winter season. Seeds can also be used for propagation but this is a time-consuming process and often not successful.

7. Potting and Repotting
When potting two things are important to remember. The container should be carefully selected as it prefers roots tightly bound and a well-balanced soil mix. Usually, it takes about three years for the plant to get big enough to need repotting. If the flowering season is around the corner, wait for the flower to grow before committing to a new pot.

8. Toxicity and Common Pests
All parts of this plant are toxic. The toxicity is considered mild, but it can get serious if large quantities are ingested. Keep your pets away. Both dogs and cats are at risk. Although all plant parts are somewhat toxic, the bulbs are the most dangerous. It is crucial to watch for mealybugs, scale insects, and red spider mites when caring for this plant.
