Thank you for purchasing. The following is the germination method that we recommend:
- Get a seed-raising mix from Bunnings or a soft soil mix such as 2/3 Peal moss and 1/3 Pearlite.
- Place the soil in a pot.
- Place the seeds on the soil and gently press into the soil halfway so the seeds are still visible.
- Keep moist but not soaked.
- Within 10-14 days, you will see a shoot come up.
- Push the seedling into the soil if it isn’t in far enough.
- 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.
- Enjoy your flowers!
- *Another method is to wrap 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)
