I have a 30 years old clivia in a pot that never gets waterd and the plant is happy and flowers every year. A tough plant, I plan to place more of these in the garden, what kind of soil do they like?

Virtually any type good drainage is a key to most soils my soil is sandy I also got told if the seeds are yellow when ripe they are yellow flowers same as for red seeds red flowers
