The Strelitzia Nicolai, also known as the Bird of Paradise flower or Tree Strelitzia, is one of the most popular tropical houseplants and instantly brings a holiday feeling to your home. Originally from South Africa, it can grow into a small tree in its natural environment. Indoors, the Strelitzia impresses with its huge, banana-like leaves that give any room a luxurious, tropical ambiance. The plant belongs to the Musaceae family and is closely related to the banana plant. A typical feature is the cracks in the leaves, which occur due to air movement or growth – a completely normal, natural phenomenon. The Strelitzia Nicolai loves bright to sunny locations. It should receive as much light as possible – ideally near a window. During the growth phase in spring and summer, it appreciates regular watering, but waterlogging should be avoided. In winter, less water is sufficient. On warm days, the plant can also be placed outside on the terrace or balcony. However, it is not frost-resistant and must be brought indoors to be protected from frost. As the plant ages, it develops the typical, exotic white and blue flowers that resemble the head of a bird of paradise – hence its name. Indoors, however, this usually happens only after several years.
