I changed my plans on this clivia. Decided to repot to another container with no tapered bottom so less likely to be blown over in case of strong winds here.

So this is the spot I will put it, by our front door, there is an overhang so if it rains, it will not be drenched. North facing area too, so just right for its shady needs, but container has to be changed.

Took me awhile to unpot this one..too rootbound, so had to destroy the plastic container..anyways, don't need it. Those roots do remind me of very fat noodles. Big Grin

Repot done, back by the front door. Good luck Clivia, hope it does not mind the root disturbance so much. So now I can leave it alone and do not have to move it back and forth in case it rains..plus it is heavy.

Temps feels spring-like right now at 60F..but it goes down to 39F to low 50's every night. So that should be good for the cold treatment aspect. I tried our garage first last night & it only goes down to 60F, not enough. So this front door spot would work much better, open yet protected by the overhang.
