There is a gentleman's charm, and flowers are like orchids, hence the name. Roots are fleshy and fibrous, and leaves form pseudobulb at the base. The leaves are shaped like swords, completely alternating. Clivia is a semi-negative plant, which is native to South Africa. I like cool, high temperature, thick and well-drained soil and moist soil, and avoid dry environment. Its life span can reach decades or even longer.
