Giant Bird Of Paradise - Strelitzia Nicolai - H90-110cm - discussion

The Strelitzia Nicolai known as the Bird of Paradise plant originally comes from South Africa. This beautiful plant will transform your living room into a real jungle in no time! With its large and sturdy green leaves this houseplant is suitable for every interior. Strelitzia belongs to the Musaceae family and is therefore a small relative of the banana plant. A typical feature of this family is the cracks in the leaves of the plants. This is completely natural for the bird of paradise plant and nothing to worry about!

Care
The Strelitzia Nicolai is a real sun worshipper and therefore prefers a place with lots of light. Because of this the plant also needs a lot of water (pay attention to drainage to prevent root rot). The plant can also be kept on the terrace in spring and summer. The plant is not hardy so if there is a chance of frost it should be brought back inside. The Strelitzia is mildly toxic to children and pets. Furthermore the Strelitzia is known to grow its beautiful exotic flowers. However this often does not happen until the plant is decades old. Therefore you should leave the plant for a while!

Size
The plant has a height of 90-110cm upon delivery measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 21cm.
