Dear Jean; Considering the circumstances, I suggest you get what you can now and worry about replanting when they are in your hands. There's plenty of info on the web. Do a google search for "planting Clivia" -you'll get over 18,000 hits. Good luck with your neighbor. Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
