Can I Plant Clivia Outside

While most clivias are grown as interesting houseplants, in suitable locations they can be grown as outdoor container plants. However, they must be brought indoors for overwintering.

How do you grow clivias outside?

For best results, grow Clivia in bright diffused light such as a bright north window, or an east or west window shaded from the sun. They can be moved outside for the summer (in the shade or acclimate slowly to brighter conditions so they don’t sunburn), but must be brought in before freezing weather.

Where is the best place to plant clivia?

Clivia grows well in a part-shade area and can tolerate dry soil conditions. The ideal planting conditions are morning sun and afternoon shade with deep soil and good drainage. When planted from tubers, clivia flowers in the second year after planting. Clivia grows best in deep, well-draining soil.
