Resting clivia

cath_md

I have 3 seed-grown clivias and one offshoot in a pot as a houseplant. They started blooming finally a couple years ago (took about 4-6 years). For the last 2 autumns, when I put the pot in an unheated closet to give it the required dormancy time (I've read any where from 1 month to 2 months), flower shoots develop on at least one of the plants. I don't understand it! I put the pot in the closet 10 days ago, and just noticed yesterday that 2 of the plants have blooms. I am not complaining about flowers, but could someone please tell me: should I leave the plant in the closet (low light, little water), or bring it back out until the flowers are done, then try the dormancy thing again? (Obviously, 2 of the 4 plants are not sleeping now...)
