Product description

Strelitzia Nicolai – 110–120 cm

The Strelitzia Nicolai, also known as the white bird of paradise, is a robust, large houseplant with large, banana-like leaves. At approximately 110–120 cm tall, this tropical eye-catcher instantly brings height, luxury, and a holiday atmosphere to your living room, hallway, or office.

Appearance & character

  • Large, fresh green leaves with a banana leaf look that grow in a fan-shaped shape from the trunk.
  • Gives a distinctly tropical, “hotel lobby” vibe to your interior.
  • A sturdy plant that looks beautiful in a spacious corner or next to a sofa or cupboard.

Location & light

  • The Strelitzia Nicolai likes a lot of light and can also tolerate some direct sun.
  • A spot near a large south, west or east facing window is ideal.
  • Too little light causes weaker growth and fewer new leaves.

Water & care

  • Keep the potting soil slightly moist and allow the top layer to dry out between waterings.
  • Water more often in spring and summer; in winter the soil can remain slightly drier.
  • Do not leave water standing in the decorative pot to prevent root rot.
  • Dust the large leaves with a soft cloth to keep them shiny.

For strong growth and deep green leaves, you can use food and potting soil from our plant care collection during the growing season.
