Clivia miniata 'Red'

How to grow Clivia miniata 'Red' in NZ

Clivia miniata 'Red' grows best in partial to full shade, making it perfect for spots that receive filtered light or morning sun. Plant in well drained soil enriched with organic matter to support healthy root development. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage. Water during extended dry periods but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. It is well suited to sheltered gardens, beneath trees, and shaded borders where colour is needed.

Clivia miniata 'Red' care tips

Looking after Clivia miniata 'Red' is simple and rewarding. Remove spent flower stems once blooming has finished to tidy the plant. Apply a slow release fertiliser in spring to encourage strong new growth and flowering. Keep the soil lightly moist during dry spells but avoid overwatering, as the roots prefer free drainage. Divide mature clumps every few years in late summer if flowering declines or plants become overcrowded.

Clivia miniata 'Red' size, spacing, and growth rate

Clivia miniata 'Red' typically grows forty to sixty centimetres tall and forms wide clumps up to sixty centimetres across. Its slow to moderate growth rate makes it easy to manage, even in smaller garden spaces. Space plants forty to fifty centimetres apart to allow clumps to expand naturally. Over time it forms a dense and attractive planting that delivers annual colour with minimal care.
