How to grow Strelitzia

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Soil with better drainage and loose texture is suitable for breeding. This will be more conducive to drainage and less likely to cause water accumulation.

2. Watering: It has relatively large roots underneath that can store a large amount of water, so you don’t need to worry too much about watering. When the growth is more vigorous, sufficient water can be supplied so that the plant can grow normally. After autumn, you need to reduce watering, especially in winter.

3. Light: It is a light-loving plant, and this condition must be met when it is growing most vigorously. If this condition is not met during the maintenance process, the plant will easily become weak. Except for the summer when it needs shade, it needs exposure to sunlight in the other three seasons.

4. Fertilization: During the growth period, the plant is relatively resistant to fertilizer and can be fertilized once every half a month to promote the sprouting of new buds and leaves. During the flowering period, apply 2 to 3 more times.

2. Remove the remaining flowers

After the flowers wither, the withered flowers should be removed in time and the flower stems and dead leaves on them should be cut off to reduce nutrient consumption.
