Episode 87 - Clivia in bud

A flower shoot is coming out from the clivia. This is the second time this clivia flowers.

In the past week, the flower shoot was held up by the leaves. In order to release the flower shoot I have added water, tied down the leaves on one side, and cut open a little bit of the base of the leaf next to the flower shoot. The remedial actions appear to be successful as I can see other flower buds coming up from the same position.

You can also see from the photo that the small leaf bud of the clivia has developed into a small plant on the left side. I decide to cut it out and move it to a new pot after the flowering season.

I will post another photo when the clivia blossoms.
