Product Description
The Strelitzia reginae, also known as the bird of paradise flower, is a popular houseplant known for its exotic flowers. Even when not in bloom, it creates a tropical atmosphere in your home.
The plant is native to South Africa, but now grows in many tropical and subtropical regions. Keep in mind that the Strelitzia only starts to flower from the age of 4-5 years or older, and only with the right care.
Care & tips Strelitzia Reginae - 40cm
Strelitzia reginae is known for its beautiful orange-blue flowers, but not every plant will flower. It must first reach an age of at least 4 to 5 years, and often even older. With the right care, you can significantly increase the chance of flowering. The attention and care you put into Strelitzia will ultimately be rewarded with these special flowers.
Water requirements of the Strelitzia Reginae - 40 cm
The Strelitzia reginae is a large plant and therefore needs a lot of water, especially in summer. Each time you water it, give it enough water so that the soil is dry after about a week. Check the soil regularly at first: if it is dry after three days, give it a little more water.
In winter, the plant consumes less water and the soil can remain dry for a little longer. Be careful not to water too much during this period to prevent root rot.
In addition, it is advisable to spray the Strelitzia weekly. This keeps the leaves clean, helps against pests and contributes to the overall health of the plant.
Light requirements Strelitzia Reginae - 40cm
The Strelitzia reginae originates from sunny regions and likes a light location. Direct sunlight is fine, but allow the plant to acclimatise gradually by slowly increasing the number of hours of sunlight.
If the plant is in a location with too little light, it may drop its leaves. In that case, move it to a lighter spot to restore its health.
Is Strelitzia Reginae - 40cm a poisonous houseplant?
The Strelitzia reginae is slightly poisonous. Nothing will happen if you touch it, but swallowing the leaves can cause symptoms. Keep this in mind when choosing a location, especially if there are small children or pets in the house.
