Features

notes

Strelitzia nicolai is a striking architectural houseplant with broad, glossy leaves that fan out elegantly, bringing an instant sense of lush, tropical calm to any indoor space. Sometimes known as the Giant White Bird of Paradise, this low-maintenance plant is beloved for its sculptural silhouette and air-purifying qualities. Terracotta pot cover not included, supplied in plastic nursery pot.

Insights

Native to the subtropical coastal forests of South Africa, Strelitzia nicolai is the larger, more statuesque relative of the better-known Strelitzia reginae. In the wild, it can reach remarkable heights, but indoors it grows steadily and gracefully.

Care

Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry, and mist regularly to mimic its native humidity. In the warmer months, feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Repot every two to three years to support healthy growth.
