How to care for Strelitzia reginae in winter

1. Adequate sunlight

It does not require much light to grow, but it is best to keep it in a well-lit place in the winter and get more sun to prevent the low temperature environment from freezing the roots and affecting growth. Adequate light can help it survive the winter more safely.

2. Temperature control and warmth preservation

It is not cold-resistant and is suitable for growing in an environment with a temperature between 18 and 25 degrees. It will stop growing when the temperature is below 10 degrees and the plant may be frozen. Therefore, it is best to move it indoors for maintenance in winter. The temperature can be controlled by a heater to keep it warm, keeping it above 10 degrees.

3. Control water and stop fertilizer

It needs more water during the growing season, so water it frequently. However, the amount of water should be controlled in winter. Check the soil in the pot before each watering, and wait until it is almost dry before watering to prevent the soil from freezing. In addition, stop fertilizing after winter.

4. Winter pruning

Pruning is necessary once in winter to cut off the overgrown and sickly branches to reduce nutrient consumption and help it survive the winter better. In addition, the remaining branches can be better exposed to light and ventilated, which is also beneficial for their growth next year.
