Can I get Klivien out of semen?
It's not hard to make your own seeds, but it takes a long time to see success in the form of lush flowers. Get ready for a longer wait.
Where do I get the seeds from?
If you already have a clivia, then you can remove the ripe seeds of this plant and sow immediately. However, the maturation takes quite a few months and immature seeds are not germinable. Alternatively, order seeds on the Internet. There you will find various sources.
What should I consider when sowing?
Only really ripe seeds can actually germinate. They often do that on the mother plant. These seeds are simply put in pots with potting soil. If you put the seeds individually, you will save yourself the first repot after a few months. You can also germinate seeds that have not germinated between two layers of damp paper towels and then put them in soil.
How do I take care of the young Klivien?
If the seeds are successfully germinated and grown into small plantlets, then they are still quite sensitive. Pour the young Klivien only moderately, but regularly. It is best to give them water whenever the substrate is already slightly dry. Use stale rainwater or low-limp, slightly stale tap water. Too much lime in the irrigation water leaves the leaves turn yellow.
How long does it take for my clivia to flower?
From the sowing of your Klivien to the first bloom can take up to five years pass. That's a very long time. If you do not have so much patience, but a somewhat older Clivia, then the propagation by offshoot is recommended. That too is pretty straightforward.

Tips
If you have a lot of patience, then you can save a lot of money by sowing Klivien, because well-grown plants are not exactly cheap.
