Strelitzia nicolai "Wild Banana" (110cm approx)

Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as Giant White Bird of Paradise or Wild Banana, is a stunning tropical plant prized for its large, paddle-shaped leaves that are glossy and deep green in color. The leaves grow in a fan-like arrangement along the stems, forming a canopy that resembles a banana plant. The foliage can reach impressive sizes, with leaves spanning several feet in length.

Strelitzia nicolai is known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins from indoor air and improve air quality.

• Light: Strelitzia nicolai thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day. It can tolerate partial shade but may not grow as vigorously or produce as many leaves.

• Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings, and then water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Fertilization: Feed Strelitzia nicolai with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also prune back any dead or spent flower stalks to promote new growth.
