The Strelitzia Reginae is a popular and well-known plant. Who doesn't know the beautiful flowers of this houseplant? The Strelitzia's nickname is the Bird of Paradise plant, and for good reason. The Strelitzia Reginae adds a unique atmosphere to any room, even when this plant is not in bloom.
The plant belongs to the banana plant family (Musaceae). They are closely related but there are plenty of differences. 

Oosrponiginally, this flowering houseplant comes from South Africa but can now be found in almost all tropical and subtropical regions. The leaves of Strelitzia Reginae are thick and strong and almost impossible to break. 

Care & tips Strelitzia Reginae - 160cm

The Strelitzia Reginae is known for its beautiful orange and blue coloured flowers, however, not every Strelitzia will flower. First of all, the green houseplant will need to be four to five years old before it can flower. Proper care will increase its chances of flowering.

Water requirements of the Strelitzia Reginae - 160cm

The Strelitzia Reginae is a large houseplant and thus also needs a lot of water, especially in the summer months. When watering, give the Strelitzia Reginae so much water that the soil is completely dry after about one week. Test this in the beginning. After watering every other day, feel how the soil is doing. If after three days you feel that the soil is dry again, give more water if necessary to keep the Strelitzia Reginae healthy. In the winter months, the soil may be slightly drier for the next watering, as the Strelitzia Reginae uses less water in the winter months.

So be careful not to overwater in the winter months as this can lead to root rot. We also recommend watering the Strelitzia Reginae once a week. This helps keep the plant healthy, removes dust from the leaves and acts as a preventative measure against pests.

Light requirements Strelitzia Reginae - 160cm

The Strelitzia Reginae originates from a climate where the sun almost always shines. This easy houseplant therefore likes a position with sufficient light. If you put Strelitzia Reginae in a place with direct sunlight, we recommend you let the plant get used to it. Build up the direct sunlight hours slowly. 

If you place Strelitzia Reginae in a place with too little light, the plant will drop its leaves.  In this case, move the houseplant.

Is Strelitzia Reginae - 160cm a poisonous houseplant?

Strelitzia Reginae is a slightly poisonous houseplant. When touching the plant, nothing will happen, but ingesting the leaves is not recommended. So take into account its location when small children or animals are present.
