☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Strelitzia Nicolai loves bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where the sunlight is filtered through a curtain or slightly shaded by other objects. Direct sunlight might scorch the leaves, so keep it a bit sheltered while still ensuring it gets plenty of light.
? Water
??▫️ (Medium)
This plant likes its soil to dry out slightly between watering. Give it a thorough watering when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the winter months when plant growth naturally slows down.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average)
Strelitzia Nicolai enjoys a typical indoor temperature range from 18°C to 24°C. Avoid draughty areas or locations near heating and air conditioning vents as sudden temperature changes can stress the plant.
? Humidity
??▫️ (Moderate)
This plant does well in moderate humidity. Normal room humidity should be fine, but if you notice the leaf edges turning brown, you might want to increase humidity levels slightly with a humidifier or a pebble tray.
? Repotting
Consider repotting your Strelitzia Nicolai every two to three years to ensure it has enough room to grow and fresh soil. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
