Only when the general conditions are right can not much go wrong in care. The plant thrives and produces interesting flowers every year. But which location does a Strelitzia like best?
Which location is best for the Strelitzia?
The ideal location for a Strelitzia is sunny, warm and humid, with temperatures between 10 and 25 °C. It can be left outside on the balcony or terrace in summer and can tolerate full midday sun. High humidity and a permeable, moderately nutrient-rich substrate are optimal.
Flooded with light, warm and humid
When choosing a location, consider the following:
- sunny location
- I'm happy to put it out on the balcony or terrace in summer
- high humidity
- Bright midday sun is tolerated
- Temperature between 10 and 25 °C
- do not expose to accumulated heat
- optimally suitable: bright bathroom and kitchen (there is high humidity there)
The parrot flower has little demands on the soil. It is best to plant it in a pot with a well-drained substrate. A clayey-gravelly base works well. The soil should be moderately nutrient-rich and loose.
Tip
If you place the pot or bucket on a rolling stand (€34.00 on Amazon), you can easily change the location at any time.
