Very good, Laurens(the plant) and Helen ( the photograph). With the throat covering about 75% of the tepals, I would classify it as a bi-colour. Mick Dower,...

I am not an expert but it sounds as though you may be keeping them too wet. This is a very common occurrence with cactus, the roots get smothered and the plant...
Hello all you clivia experts! I was reading some past posts and came across the rerooting clivia that have lost their roots in a glass of water. How far in the...

Fungus gnats are more of a nusance to you than they are to mature plants. Seedlings probably would be strong enough to be unaffected. But, I would suggest...

Denis, it is probably a root problem. I would examine the roots and treat any rot, or you could try staking the plant upright for a couple of months until the...

Hi Marilyn, I could be wrong about this, but I don't think fungus gnats harm clivia, other then being a vector for disease such as bacterial or viral...

Marilyn Just immerse the base of the plant in water having removed all dead/diseased material. Put the leaves under and you will be in more trouble! It is a...
It's been reported that more plants die from too much water (too much love!?) than from other diseases. Cactus death is a good example. They thrive on the...
