How pretty I have a clivia that bloomed in Ct while we are at our place in NC..I had it for about 12 yrs..of course I could be away when it finally bloomed!!

I've never seen one of these. It is beautiful. Explain about cutting the baby off from the mother plant. Do you then plant that one? Will the mother flower again if strength is not going to the baby plants?

Gorgeous! I was told that bromeliads only bloom once- ever. Another bloom would come from the babies on the sides. That's what you have, right? Thanks for sharing.
