I had a couple in the ground that didn't make it, Alice. Now, I move them around to keep them out of the sun. Plus, with all the oak tree roots under the ground in my yard, some plants do ok and some have a lot of trouble getting established. For what you have to pay for a clivia, well, you know.
I have had them fail to bloom a couple of times, even though the plant looks great. So I'm going to try keeping it dry for a few weeks now that the weather's finally cooling off.
