A plant-like Clivia<\/strong> is directly related to the Amaryllidaceae family. In the wild, it can be found in South African humid subtropical forests. This herb is a perennial plant with very long leaves that are collected in a rosette.<\/p>\n

The beautiful flowers of this plant collected in inflorescences, as a rule, are colored yellow, orange, or red. There are about 10\u201320 of these bell-shaped flowers on one inflorescence. Their blooming occurs gradually, and the flowers themselves hold on for quite a long time. Moreover, one clivia has several flower arrows.<\/p>\n

If this flower grows indoors, then it’s flowering, as a rule, begins in February or March. If the clivia is large enough and well cared for, then it can bloom 2 times in 1 year.<\/p>\n

It also has long, shiny leaves that are dark green in color. The bases of the leaves are thickened, and they are in very tight contact with each other (thanks to this, they look like a bulb). And they are located on the rhizome. Interestingly, this plant lacks a bulb, which is a significant difference from other amaryllis plants<\/a>. Clivia also has a fleshy and very succulent root system. It can accumulate reserves of nutrients and fluids.<\/p>\n

This plant is quite undemanding. He does not have any special requirements for illumination or humidity. It feels best on the windowsills of windows located in the western, eastern, or northern parts of the room.<\/p>\n

As a home plant, flower growers most often choose a variety such as cinnabar clivia<\/strong> (Cl\u00edvia miniata), it is also called cinnabar vallota (Vallota miniata), as well as beautiful or noble<\/strong> clivia (Cl\u00edvia Nobilis).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A variety such as cinnabar clivia has gained popularity as a medicinal plant. For the manufacture of medicinal drugs, the entire plant can be used as a whole, or rather, both leaves and roots. Thus, the local population of Zulu, with the help of clivia rhizomes, treats fever and also manufactures a remedy that can significantly reduce the pain of a poisonous snake bite.<\/p>\n

However, when treating the rhizome of cinnabar clivia, special care must be taken. The fact is that it contains some alkaloids, which makes it very toxic. Therefore, without special knowledge, it is better not to self-medicate.<\/p>\n
