Transcription
Latin Name: Clivia miniata Common Name: Kaffir Lily Family: Amaryllidaceae Origin: South Africa Soil: Use three parts commercial potting soil mixed with one part sand. Add one to two tablespoons of bone meal, depending on the size of the container. Temperature: Daytime temperatures should be 70°-75°F and nighttime temperatures should be 55°-60°F. Light: Place in bright, indirect light from an eastern exposure. Moisture: Water every two to three days. Fertilization: Fertilize every other week, alternating between fish and seaweed fertilizers. Grooming: This plant does not like root disturbance and it flowers best when pot-bound. Repot every three to five years when the roots appear on the surface of the soil. After flowering, remove red berries and the flower stalk to promote a greater bloom the following year. Seasonal Care: Reduce watering and fertilizing during winter months. Propagation: Propagate from division or seed. Pests and diseases: Check for root rot, scale, and mealy bugs. Angiosperm
