Known as the great orange flowering Bird of Paradise. The leaves alone are large and exotic looking, but when in flower it opens wide like a Crane. Ultimate height 16 foot! 

Best space & place

Happiest situated in indirect bright light. It is happy in most rooms, with a minimum temperature of 10°C. It can be acclimatised to live in direct sun, but leaves will scorch while it adjusts. 

When to water & feed

In the summer months Strelitzia require their soil to remain moist to keep the leaves looking good. Just make sure the soil drains well and they don't sit in water. Feeding is beneficial.

Need to know

Strelitzia need humidity to thrive, it is important to increase humidity by misting, and introducing fresh airflow, especially when temperatures hit 20 degrees, ventilating the home.

      For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

      For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.

      Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
