The first step is to collect seeds. Clivia is usually pollinated to get fruit. When you pollinate, you usually open the flowers and split the perianth. The bracts can mature in about 2-3 days, when there is mucus on the stigma, you can pollinate.

When pollinating, dip the pollen with a brush and point it on the stigma of the pistil.

After the seeds have been collected, we can sow them. When sowing, you should choose flowerpots and soil with good air permeability.

Before sowing, soak the seeds in 30 ℃ warm water for about half an hour. After drying, you can plant them in a flowerpot.

When sowing, put the seeds on the soil, and make sure that the buds are facing down and arranged one by one. Then cover the seeds with a layer of sawdust, compact them and spray them with water. Pay attention to place them in a cool and ventilated place and keep them moist.
