Product Description

The Strelitzia reginae, better known as the ‘bird of paradise flower’, is a much-loved and iconic houseplant. Who doesn't know those gorgeous flowers? It owes its nickname to the striking, exotic blooms that call to mind the colourful feathers of a bird of paradise. It's worth knowing that not every Strelitzia produces flowers; it's a living thing, after all, and it grows in its own way. The plant will only be able to flower once it's about seven years old.

Care & tips for the Strelitzia Reginae XXL - 170cm

The Strelitzia reginae isn't a demanding houseplant. With the right care you can enjoy this beautiful plant for a long time and improve its chances of flowering. Give it enough light, water it regularly and use a free-draining potting soil to create the best growing conditions.

How much water does the Strelitzia Reginae XXL - 170cm need?

The Strelitzia Reginae is a large houseplant that needs a lot of water, especially in summer. Give it enough that the soil is dry again after a week, and check the moisture in the soil regularly at first. In winter the plant uses less water, so water less often to prevent root rot.

Mist the plant weekly to remove dust and keep pests away. If you have repotted the plant, a moisture meter is a good way to keep the soil at the right moisture level.

How much light does the Strelitzia Reginae XXL - 170cm need?

The Strelitzia reginae comes from sunny climates and so needs plenty of light. Put the plant somewhere with enough daylight. If you place it in direct sunlight, let it get used to this slowly by building up the hours of sun gradually.

If the Strelitzia reginae stands somewhere too dark, it will drop its leaves. Move the plant to a brighter spot in that case.

Is the Strelitzia Reginae XXL - 170cm a toxic houseplant?

The Strelitzia Reginae is a mildly toxic houseplant. Eating it can be toxic and cause irritation, so take care with small children and pets.
