| How long should seeds take to germinate?
I placed 2 seeds in water for 24 hours..then sowed in well-draining soil..pots are in indirect sun under lights as well. Got plastic sitting atop pots for humidity..Thanks, Toni |

| Toni, Within 1-2 weeks. You are aware that seeds should not be totally covered by the potting medium? Seeds should only be pushed in half way. |

| Dries, no wasn't aware seed should stick half way out of soil..is it too late to lift it? In 82, I started seed from a Clivia, didn't know what the heck I was doing, used heavy soil, only artifial light, and to this day have a beautiful Clivia from those seeds.. So, what do u think I should do? Thanks, Toni |

| You can lift them and replant. They are hardy. Follow the link below for a good photo of germinating seeds. |

| I didn't know what I was doing with the first clivia seeds I planted and had them a few inches below the soil. They did eventually sprout but it took several months. The next time the seeds were just pushed into the soil and they germinated within a couple weeks. Karyn |
