About Bush Lily

Finding light for Bush Lily in your home
Bush Lily may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.
Place it less than 3 feet from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Bush Lily in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Bush Lily
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Bush Lily after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Clivia flower tips? buds spotted among the leaves My clivia has buds on it after 4 years!😍 (It’s been an office plant and has had 3 different offshoots instead of flowers) I was planning on not watering it until next year to trigger a flower when I found this! I think now that it’s here it’s best to water it as normal to help the flower stalk elongate, but I’m not positive on that? These flowers have always been elusive and mysterious to me LOL If anyone has any tips for getting this to shoot up pls let me know. If I keep it in the office I have more control over water and light (I can buy it a grow light) or I can take it home and have control over everything including temperature, just not sure if the transport will stress it out to much. It was repotted on 11/4 and given a good soak, and last watered 11/15 #BushLily #Clivia #flowerbuds #TipsandTricks
