A spot next to your favorite chair can be special even without flowers. The Clivia transforms it into a green corner that brings joy all year round with its fan-shaped foliage. On a side table, positioned away from books, pictures, and other cherished items, its clear silhouette remains visible, giving the familiar space its own character.
Clivia miniata, also known as Riemenblatt, features sturdy, dark green, glossy leaves; above them, strong flower stalks with umbel-like flower clusters rise. The characteristic orange to orange-red funnel-shaped flowers with yellow throats add warm color to the room: a distinctly separated flower cluster emerges above the foliage, especially in spring to early summer, depending on the cultivation. For flowering, a mature Clivia requires a bright, cool, frost-free resting phase of about November to February at around 10 °C - thus, a suitable cool room is part of planning its place in your home.
