In their native environment, in evergreen forests and thickets of southern Africa, Strelitzia Nicolai can grow to 20m high in clumps of up to 11m.....however they are widely grown worldwide as beautiful and easy to care for houseplants.

Whilst not frost tolerant, Strelitzia Nicolai will form stunning garden centrepiece - whether grown directly in the border in hotter climates, or grown in pots and brought outside once all risk of frost has passed for those of us in cooler climes. Mature plants will produce stunning large white flowers that resemble birds of paradise - hence the name.

Germination Guide

• Soak the seeds in tap water for 2 days, changing the water after day 1
• Prepare a compost mixture - sieved compost, perlite, vermiculite or a mixture of these.
• Ensure mix is moist but not wet
• Spread compost in a clean seed tray
• So seeds individually - pressing them gently into the compost so they are half covered
• Place tray in a heated propagator, or cover with a plastic bag and place in a warm place eg airing cupboard
• Check seeds regularly, ensuring compost does not dry out.
• Germination can take 4-8 weeks
• When shoots visible move into a warm, light place but out of direct sunlight.
• Pot on as required
