Clivia Sites?

The message from "chaz" contains these words:

You might try a websearch for Read's nursery in the UK; one of their specialities is clivias. If the information you want is not on their website, they are the kind of people who would help you by email.

Thank you, i will check them out. I have googled all over the place but just havent seen a site that was all inclusive on Clivias.

Thanks for your response.

Hi chaz,

a couple of sites for you.

Loukie Viljoen's tutorial on seedstarting in arid climates ( S Africa) is fascinating, well documented with pictures. Jim Shields is also represented in this collection of references. Technique, temperature, humidity, sterility ( avoiding molds ) are key. Extremely helpful!!!!

and

would be the site of Jim Shields as above. Summer 2004 is here and new seed is coming on market.

I was a regular visitor to these sites last winter, successfully germinated

4 of 5 of my own hand pollinated seed in an old Maine Farmhouse using a clay pot, Farfard mix and a zip lock bag. For warmth, tucked the whole shebang in a closet with the Forced Hot Water Heat pipe chase.

Good luck!
