Andrew, Clivia caulescens can tolerate direct sun, since it grows out on top of the rocky spire known as "The Pinacles" in the South African preserves at God's Window. It also can be seen growing in the crotches of trees and sprawling over rocks. I would suggest partial to light shade, although San Diego is probably close to the same latitude as God's Window. One point: God's Window and the Drakensberg generally get a substantial amount of rainfall compared to San Diego, so I would water regularly. Generally, I would say the C. caulescens and C. nobilis can both take much more sunlight than miniata, gardenii, and robusta. On the other hand, Leo should probably use some shade even for caulescens in Phoenix.
