Care Instructions: Strelitzia will prefer bright, direct sunlight as they are native to Southern Africa where there is little shade. We strongly suggest putting your Strelitzia within 2 feet of a window in your living room area. Make sure the window will give it at least 6 hours of full sun everyday so it can thrive. A south-facing window is most appropriate. Like all plants, ensure your Strelitzia is not near air vents and draughts as they can alter temperatures around it. Strelitzia tends to like the soak-and-dry method of watering. This means allow the soil to become almost completely dry in between watering then, thoroughly water your plant until the excess water begins to drip out of the drainage holes. Mist the Strelitzia leaves every other day, group other houseplants close by or use a humidifier to increase the humidity in the room. This is the most effective way as you can control the exact humidity levels in the room. The recommended humidity needs to be around 60%, quite high! Brown, crispy edges ay be a sign that your Strelitzia needs more humidity, often misjudged as underwatering, so try increasing humidity before increasing the watering frequency.
