| Strelitzia "Strelitzia" Strelitzia reginae S. reginae (strelitzia, bird-of-paradise flower) Shaped like the heads of tropical birds, the multicolored 6-inch flowers of this exotic plant usually appear in summer and fall, occasionally at other times, on stout stalks above spear-shaped leaves about 4 to 6 inches wide and 18 to 30 inches long. Plants generally grow 4 to 6 feet tall. HOW TO GROW. Strelitzias do best in at least four hours of direct sunlight a day, night temperatures of 50° to 55° and day temperatures of 68° to 72°. Allow the soil to become slightly dry between waterings and fertilize every two weeks. Plants should be grown in large tubs and divided only when it is absolutely necessary; divisions often require two or three years to reach flowering size. Generally pest free. ){kind=small} strelitzia nicolai = white bird of paradize (large photo)linked to botany.hawaii.edu |
