- How often should I water my Strelitzia Nicolai?

- Is the Strelitzia Nicolai suitable for beginners?
- Yes, it’s an excellent choice for beginners due to its easy care requirements and resilience to less-than-perfect watering habits. Just ensure it has enough light and don’t overwater.

Strelitzia Nicolai should be repotted every couple of years or when it outgrows its current pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure healthy roots.

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
