The Natal Lily Flower or Fire Lily Plant, Bush lily, Kaffir Lily, Clivia Miniata,is a species of flowering plant in the genus Clivia of the family Amaryllidaceae, native, growing in woodland habitats in South Africa. Clivia miniata are sometimes known as the Fire Lilies because of their clusters of yellow throated, bright orange or red flowers that rise above. 


Clivia miniata is very well adapted to growing in containers, and will even bloom better and more consistently when they are pot bound than if they are growing in the ground. As a House Plant, keep your Clivia where it will receive bright, indirect light and never direct sun.Feed your Clivias monthly with a good house plant fertilizer.  
The best time to repot or pot up Clivias is in the spring, when they are just starting to grow vigorously again. Clivias can be grown from seeds, however the seeds must be removed from the pods and planted while they are still fresh.
