Clivia is a genus that belongs to the amaryllis family, but the plant’s cultivation is far removed from the bulb-based amaryllis. Learning how to germinate your own clivia seeds is important: Because of the plant’s popularity, single plants may cost as much as $10,000 as of 2008, according to the University of Florida IFAS Extension. The evergreen plant boasts red or orange flowers, with yellow being the most sought-after and rare bloom.
