The bright colours of the Bush Lily may be adapted for pollinators in its native South Africa, but they certainly make it stand out as a houseplant too. Blooming in shades of red, orange or yellow, these houseplants will look their best in spring and summer as they bloom. Their lush, deep green leaves are sure to look great year-round, too, sprouting full length from the centre of the foliage. Each leaf builds on the last to form a central stem with a criss-cross pattern, from which the flower stem is produced in spring. Keep your Bush Lily in bright but indirect light, make sure half the soil dries out before you water again, and you can keep this plant happy and blooming year on year.

Scientific Name
Clivia miniata (Lady Clive's cinnabar-red plant)

Synonyms: Imantophyllum miniatum, Imatophyllum miniatum, Vallota miniata, Clivia sulphurea, Imantophyllum barkeri, Imatophyllum atrosanguineum, Imatophyllum vanhouttei, Himantophyllum miniatum

This plant was described under a few names in the 1850s, most notably Imantophyllum miniatum, but since Clivia miniata was settled on following an 1857 paper, it has retained its accepted status.

Common Name
Bush Lily, Natal Lily, Flame Lily, September Lily, (Kaffir Lily - an outdated and offensive name due to the use of racist term 'kaffir') 

Origin
Native to large parts of South Africa and Eswatini

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window is ideal.

Water
Allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering. Water more sparingly in winter to encourage flowering in spring. Be careful not to let it sit wet as this can lead to root rot.

Humidity
Prefers moderate humidity but is quite adaptable to typical indoor conditions. Avoid placing near radiators or in draughts, as dry air may cause leaf tips to brown.

Soil
Use a chunky potting soil which allows air to get to the roots - a mix with added bark, or one designed for Anthuriums or Orchids, will work well here. Repot annually in late spring/early summer.

Food
To prolong and promote flowering, a fertiliser high in potassium (e.g. a tomato feed) will be the best choice. Feed with this during the blooming period; standard houseplant feed is fine the rest of the year, and make sure to feed less over the winter dormancy period.

Temperature
Clivia thrive best between 10-24°C, but can stand temperatures down to about 6°C in winter. Can be grown outdoors in the UK in summer, but not frost hardy so should be brought indoors at first risk of frost. 

Pet-safe
No, Clivia is toxic to pets and humans, especially the bulbs and berries.

Sprouts Top Tips
Your Natal Lily will shed older roots as it grows new ones, so don't worry if half of the roots have become deflated or even rotten - just prune them off with a clean pair of scissors when you repot, and adjust the size of pot you repot into depending on the size of the healthy roots.
To get your Clivia to re-flower, make sure it gets a dormant period over winter, with drier soil, lower temperatures and less food. Being slightly potbound will also make it more likely to flower.

Extras
This plant has been given the RHS' prestigious Award of Garden Merit

Did You Know?
This Genus is named for Lady Charlotte Florentina Clive, Duchess of Northumberland, the first person to flower the type-species in cultivation in the UK.

Poor formatting for Kindle, GREAT as a hardback
Format: Kindle
So far I am loving this book, and hating its formatting for the Kindle. Probably because of all the maps and illustrations, it is hard to enjoy on my Kindle, and I have to awkwardly change the size of the page 3-4 times on every page while I try to read it. My guess is I would really love it as a physical book. LATER: As noted I was very disappointed trying to read this on a small Kindle, but the book looked so promising that I repurchased it in hardback. WOW what a difference. Wonderful illustrations, maps, the works. Given the number of important battles chosen, it would not be possible to go into great detail on any single one, but most people are not going to remember all those details anyway, and this book gives you what you really need, and the level of detail you are likely to remember and to help you appreciate the importance of the event. Strongly recommended in hardback.

Great book, the battle descriptions should've been more detailed
Format: Hardcover
The book looks great, both the dust jacket and the book cover are printed with the cover image. The dust jacket is textured with a matte finish and shiny silver text, while the book cover looks exactly like the front cover image provided here on Amazon (with a glossy finish). In my opinion, the dust jacket looks better. The book itself looks great. The texts are a bit too short for my taste though, as I would've like to read more detailed descriptions of each battle. Read the sample of the Battle of Marathon that's provided here. It will give you a good idea of the level of detail provided for each battle. Also, some of the battles that didn't get the full 2 page treatment were, in my opinion, significant and were deserving of getting it (Battle of Kadesh for example), while some less significant battles did get it, oddly enough. All in all, I'd definitely recommend the book, but it does have a few shortcomings mentioned above. PS. Also, Amazon, please work on your packaging. Add a few of those (styro)foam pieces with the book or something. My book did arrive mostly ok, and mostly unscathed, but when I picked up the package, the book was moving freely inside the banged up package. I'd say I got lucky it didn't get damaged too badly (apart from a few minor impact traces -- I'd say condition it arrived in was 9/10).

Very good book with a few minor flaws
Format: Hardcover
As most books published under the DK banner, this is a visually excellent book that is a pleasure to look at. It is well written and chock-full of outstanding illustrations and maps. I do have a few minor "ding" though. First, I think that the book should have included a "why" the battle changed history. While in most cases, this rationale is included in the text, in a few cases one has to wonder "why" this battle was important; for example, they chose the World War I battle of Verdun, but they also said that the battle was "inconclusive"; if so, how did it change history? Second, I have to question the choice of some of the battles. For example, the editors list "Arnhem", which ended up as a costly allied failure, but fail to mention the wildly successful Soviet "Operation Bagration", which destroyed the German Army Group Center. Third, there were some minor factual inaccuracies. The battles of Passchendaele and Dunkirk were both shown on a map as being located in Northern Italy instead of northern France, while Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France, was shown on a map as being more at Pas de Calais vice the beaches of Normandy. In spite of these nits, this is a good book worthy of belonging in you library. Four stars.
