Renate,
My best Clivias grow in a shade house of about 80mē and I have two smaller shade house with 3 racks each where the seedlings younger than one year will grow.

This is my large shade house.




This is the two small shade houses for the seedlings.


Seeds planted in July 2008




Here is a photo of some Clivias in the garden which are mostly in pots too. The one with the green shirt is called Sebastiaan.

Heinie, what an amazing revelation to see your wonderful growing conditions for your Clivia!  It's stupendous and your very lucky to have an assistant gardener who is interested in showing them off as well - congratulations  :)

Ragged Robin,
Thank you for the compliment. I have lots of space in the yard for my plant hobby like Hans mentioned above.

Luc,
Thanks for recognising our Springbok.There is a very sad story about the national rugby team Springbok emblem that used to be on the left hand side of the chest like on my grandson's jersey above until very recently. The players used to grab hold of the Springbok, that existed well over 100 hundred years, on their hearts but the government insisted the Springbok be moved to the right hand side to display our national flower, the Protea, and now the players do not grab hold of their chest any more when our anthem is sung but put their arms around each other. How sad that is after a century to please the politicians.

Heinie, Ian thinks your little Springbok will be a speedy winger.....  8) I just think Sebastiaan is very cute!

Maggi,
I do hope that Ian is correct in his judgement. ;) I hope so too. He is our only grand child to date, turning 5 next week, and we adore him. They spent the evening with us and he decided to send his parents home because he wants to stay over with us tonight. Obviously they followed his instructions. He often stays over and that gives his parents a break too. He has 6 of his own Clivia seedlings here and repots them every weekend.  ::)

Heini,

great pictures but I think with so much seedlings some day even you will have problems to find enough space for them.
This Clivia `Sebastianī, it is a really fast growing, isnīt it  :D

Renate,
The Sebastiaan specie grows extremely fast.  ::)

The seeds and seedlings in the photos are from the 2008 harvest. I already gave about 450 away to Susan from the Clivia Forum for her new nursery. I over pollinated the year before and then had all these seeds to experiment with different germinating methods and various growing mediums. After all that I did not change my established germinating method but found my optimum seedling growing medium mixture from the experiments. I have planted the seedlings I wanted to keep and there are about 300 left to give to people that are just starting to collect Clivia. I threw about 100 away due to slow growing in a bad medium.

This yellow Interspecific is flowering now.

Heini,
thats a spectacular Interspecific!!! Is it a named one? It would be worth to get a name.

It is also a success to try new things and then stay by the old method that worked. A lot of new methods are worth to try but not all are better than the old ones and not all "work for me".
