Strelitzia Nicolai
This exotic and very popular Strelitzia Nicolai is a real eye-catcher. So it’s time to take good care of your new bird of paradise plant.
Place the Strelitzia in a bright place, but try to avoid direct sunlight. Avoid draft, as this houseplant does not like it. Rotate the paradise plant regularly so that the houseplant does not grow to one side. The perfect temperature for this plant is between 12 and 22 °C.
The Strelitzia Nicolai likes to have a sip of water regularly and is really a moist soil lover. Every week a glass of water is enough.
Give the bird of paradise plant a little plant nutrition twice a month. In winter it’s better to give plant nutrition once every two months.

Every plant loves a little extra care! Repotting the Strelitzia will provide enough space for the roots. It is only time to repot if the pot is really getting too small, you can tell by the stem of the plant. The best period to repot is in the spring, when the growing period starts and the Strelitzia will have more energy to recover from the move.
It is very important that the new pot is at least 20% larger than the old one and that it is filled with fresh potting soil.
When you notice the leaves of the Strelitzia are getting brown or even are dying, there is no reason to immediately panic. Most of the time a new leaf will come when another one dies. When you want to trim the leaf it’s important to use a pruner and cut the leaf 2cm above the stem.
Does your Strelitzia have curled leaves? This is probably because the air is too dry. You can fix this by misting the leaves with water.
Does your Strelitzia have brown leaves? This is probably the result of too much water. You can fix this by not giving water until the soil is dry (not bone dry).
Does your Strelitzia have yellow leaves? This is probably the result of too little nutrition. You can fix this by giving the plant extra nutrition every month.
