Strelitzia nicolai

• Tropical tree with large, lush, banana-like foliage.
• Mature plants produce flowers that look identical to the classic bird-of-paradise, except white.
• Grown primarily for the foliage since plants rarely bloom indoors.

Care:

• Light: Bright, with some direct sun (east or west window).
• Water: Allow the top 30% of soil to dry between watering; avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to remain dry for an extended period.
• Fertilizer: Use an all-purpose fertilizer such as Schultz Indoor Plant Food (10-15-10) once or twice monthly.
• Other tips: Avoid placing near heat registers; the edges of leaves can burn under very low humidity. Grows best in an undersized pot; use well-drained potting mix; we recommend Pro-Mix Tropical Plant Mix with extra perlite added.
