Taboos for growing Strelitzia in winter, these three points are very important!

1. Avoid too much or too little watering

Strelitzia is relatively afraid of drought, but it is also afraid of too much water, so it must be watered in moderation. Watering should be determined according to the season, the plant's own growth conditions and the dryness and wetness of the soil. Normally, watering is done when the soil is dry, but in winter the amount of watering must be strictly controlled. At this time, the soil in the pot must be kept slightly dry. If you water too much, the roots will easily freeze, so remember to strictly control it.

2. Don’t ignore light in winter

Strelitzia generally prefers sunlight, but you must not place it under strong light because of this. Except in summer, it must be given sufficient light, especially in winter. If the light is not enough, the plant will become fragile and the flowers will not be particularly beautiful. In severe cases, it will sometimes stop blooming. Therefore, in winter, you must not let it stay in a dark place for a long time, so that it can grow better.

3. Don’t apply too much fertilizer in winter

Strelitzia generally likes fertilizer, and it must be fertilized during the growing period. Generally, it should be applied with a relatively thin fertilizer water every half a month. When it is about to bloom, it can be fertilized again, which will make its flowers bloom more beautifully. But in winter, it will begin to enter a dormant state, so at this time, you must not apply fertilizer to it, otherwise it will have a bad effect. In winter, its requirement for fertilizer is very low. Basically, when October is about to end, we stop using any nutrients. They can grow naturally and survive the winter smoothly, and we can consider nutrients next year.
