Germination Method Recommendation

Thank you for purchasing. The following is the germination method that we recommend:

1. Prepare your mix: Get a seed-raising mix from Bunnings or a soft soil mix such as 2/3 Peat moss and 1/3 Perlite.
2. Fill the pot: Place the soil in a pot.
3. Sow the seeds: Place the seeds on the soil and gently press into the soil halfway so the seeds are still visible.
4. Moisture: Keep moist but not soaked.
5. Germination: Within 10-14 days you will see a shoot come up.
6. Nudge if needed: Push the seedling into the soil if it isn’t in far enough.
7. Light & Feeding: Clivia will thrive in the shade with filtered light and limited direct sunlight. Fertilise with Seasol Seaweed Concentrate after the plant has produced leaves and continue to fertilise once a month.
8. Enjoy your flowers!

* Another method: You could also try wrapping the seeds in a paper towel, wet it and place in a zip-lock bag. Place in a warm, dry place such as a windowsill until you see shoots start to form, then place in a seed-raising mix. (You could try both to see which one you prefer.)
