Tindo! Clivia
Hi Tindo
I talked to a lady at the orchid show who had 4 different types of clivia (petal colors were peach, deep orange, yellow and light orange with yellow) There was one there with a yellow/green varigated leaf!
Beautiful! 
High $$$ .. 
I asked about bloom stimulation and she said 20-20-20 fertilizer .. I suppose Miracle Gro would do the job! 
Good Luck! 
Dorothy
Her booth is downstairs in the concourse to the wall on the left as you go toward the US Post Office .. I hope you find it and check them out!

The variegated clivas on eBay (USA) weren't that expensive though the last time I checked...they were beautiful!

clivia
How often should Clivias be fertilized?  I thought they thrive on neglect!!

Hey Clivia lovers! Dorothy, you got my attention!!!
I neglect my two Clivias and they look beautiful, but they never bloom. So thats my next step. Ofcourse I don't fertilize them either (hence the neglect) and water only 1 every two weeks or so (whenever I pass by and don't remember the last time I watered them).
I've started giving them cold nights, opening the windows in the room, and warm days, closing the windows and turning up the heat. Orchids like that too though.
