Commonly grown as a flowering houseplant, Clivia can also grow outdoors in suitable warm, sheltered, shaded locations.

Sow fresh, cleaned Clivia seeds in a loose, well-drained growing medium at approximately 21–27°C (70–81°F). Press the seeds gently into the medium and keep it lightly moist, not waterlogged. Germination commonly takes several weeks, and fresh seeds generally perform better than seeds that have dried out.
Clivia plants commonly take around 3–5 years to produce their first flowers from seed, although some plants need longer. Flowering time depends on the species, genetics, light, nutrition, and growing conditions. Provide bright indirect light, suitable watering, and steady care while the plant matures.
Not necessarily. Clivia flower color depends on the parent plants and their genetics, and seedlings from some crosses may produce different colors. For a better chance of yellow flowers, choose fresh seeds from a verified yellow-flowered Clivia parent and ask the supplier about the parentage. Seed-grown plants may differ from the parent in flower color and form.
