First, how to solve the problem of Clivia Miniata not flowering
There are several reasons why Clivia Miniata doesn't flower. You can check them against the following points. Firstly, the number of leaves does not meet the requirement of 12 or more leaves. Secondly, not fertilizing Clivia Miniata for a long time. Thirdly, keeping Clivia Miniata in a heated room during winter, leading to too small a temperature difference between day and night, making the plant mistakenly believe it is still summer and unable to undergo vernalization, hence not flowering.
Second, how to solve the problem of Clivia Miniata growing towards one side
If your Clivia Miniata leaves grow towards one side and are tilted on one side, it is caused by uneven lighting over a long period.

Even lighting will prevent this issue.
Third, how to solve the problem of Clivia Miniata leaves becoming thin
