Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Place in a bright room with plenty of natural light. A position near an east-, west- or south-facing window is ideal, with protection from prolonged harsh midday sun. Bright conditions encourage strong, healthy foliage and steady growth.

Watering

Water thoroughly once the top layer of compost has dried, allowing excess water to drain away freely. Reduce watering during winter when growth slows, and avoid leaving the roots sitting in water.

Feeding

Apply a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser once a month during spring and summer. Feeding can be reduced or stopped during the winter months.

Indoor Placement

An excellent choice for spacious living rooms, conservatories, garden rooms, offices and hotel-style interiors where it has room to develop into an impressive feature plant.

Why We Love It

• Instantly creates a lush tropical atmosphere.
• Large, elegant foliage makes a bold architectural statement.
• A long-lived plant that becomes increasingly impressive as it matures.
• Ideal for filling larger indoor spaces with natural greenery.

Good to Know

As the leaves mature, they may naturally split along the veins. This is a normal characteristic of Strelitzia and helps the plant cope with air movement in its natural environment.
