How to plant Clivia seeds

1. Collect seeds

When the skin of the fruit turns from green to red and feels soft when pressed lightly, it proves that the seeds are ripe. When it is harvest time, pick the ripe fruits and remove the seeds from them. It can be sown immediately, or it can be stored tightly in a plastic bag at 4-10 degrees Celsius, and checked regularly to prevent deterioration.

2. Seed Processing

In order to enable it to germinate quickly, the seeds should be properly treated before sowing. It can be soaked in warm water of about 40 degrees Celsius, and then it absorbs water and expands. After about one to one and a half days, you can take out the seeds, let them cool down and start sowing. After this method, the embryonic roots will grow in 15-20 days.

3. Sowing seeds

Choose a suitable container and select finer river sand as the substrate. Sterilize them, then arrange the seeds on the sand with the buds facing down, about 2 cm apart, and cover them with a thin layer of sand. Because sand is highly permeable, it should be sprayed with water once a day to keep it moist. Wait for it to sprout.
