Question from
Hazel Agostini
Hi.
I have a beautiful clivia that bloomed some months ago with 21 flowers. The flower stem, with a large seed bud remains & I don't know how I should 'after care'. Could someone pls advise?
P.s. I had this plant for many years before it actually bloomed. It was actually a 'baby' - one of 7 from the original mother that I also had for many years & that only bloomed once! All info gratefully received.
Thank you
Hazel
