Plant of the Day

My Clivia miniata var. citrina houseplant is flowering and at the same time it has decorative fruit. This variety has yellow flowers and fruit whilst Clivia miniata normally has shades of orange flowers and orange-red fruit. This South African plant grows naturally on the forest floor.

Clivia miniata
This evergreen bulb comes from eastern South Africa and adjacent Eswatini. The usual flower color is orange, and when yellow forms first found their way into horticulture, they were quite expensive. By now, though, they are easier to come by. Clivia is a genus in the Amaryllis Family, and Clivia miniata is the most widely grown species.

Clivia bloom starting in mom's Office room.
I've had very different floral stalk lengths from the same specimens year to year (sometimes like this where the stem hardly leaves the crown, and other times where they are high and clear from the leaves) and have been wondering why that's the case.
A little short googling onto some plant blogs seem to conclude that it's cause they had a "warm winter"; in other words, it's best to give them for a few months of coolness to help better develop future floral buds/stalks.
Being my single specimen had been recently divided into 5 specimens, perhaps next year I will experiment with putting some of them in places like the chillier Garage to see if it helps in their floral development.
Might be good practice in the event I one day get slightly more challenging houseplants such as, say, a venus flytrap which NEED a "winter" to survive for more than a season. If its not too much work for me then such ideas might be on the table.
