Strelitzia blooms already in adulthood after 5-7 years, when the trunks are thoroughly formed and there are prerequisites for releasing arrows with peduncles; if they are cut, they will stand in water for up to a month.
How to plant strelitzia seeds correctly
Before planting, soak the seeds in warm water for a day.
After this, place each in a glass with moistened soil and cover with glass or a cut plastic bottle.
Germination is carried out at a temperature of +22 – +25 degrees. Shoots do not appear soon: within 2-6 months.
How to quickly grow Strelitzia
To grow Strelitzia indoors, you should select pots for replanting that are 5-10 cm larger than the transport ones.
To increase the likelihood of flowering, with the onset of a warm period, the plant can be sent to the garden in the fresh air. You can also further stimulate it with fertilizers and growth stimulants.
What Strelitzia loves
Strelitzia loves to “bask” in the sun; the lighting should be intense, but without direct sunlight.
It is best to place it indoors on the east or west side.
In the warm season, Strelitzia can be taken out into the fresh air (to the terrace, loggia, garden), but placed in partial shade.
