The difference between Clivia and Amaryllis

1. Leaf Difference

The leaves of Clivia are dark green in color. If you look closely, you will see that there are grid-like veins on the leaves, which are not very orderly and feel wrinkled, not smooth and flat. A pseudobulb forms at the base of the leaves, which are shaped like swords and grow upright.

The leaves of Amaryllis are lighter in color, showing light green, and the surface of the leaves is covered with parallel veins and feels smooth to the touch. The leaves are relatively long and narrow, hanging down naturally.

2. Stem Difference

The stem of the former is in the shape of a Yuanbao throne, with leaves distributed on both sides, very evenly and symmetrically.

The stem of the latter is a round bulb that looks relatively smooth.

3. Flower Difference

The flowers of Clivia bloom in winter and spring. The flowers are small in size, but bloom in clusters. There are many of them. The small flowers, like the leaves, mostly bloom upright, and some bloom at an angle.

Amaryllis flowers bloom in April in spring and bloom again in winter. The number of flowers is relatively small and they tend to lean to the side.
