strelitziareginae 60-80cm
I'm the Bird of paradise plant, but I'm also known as the Orange Strelitzia, Strelitzia Reginae or also White Crane flower. I'm an attractive plant and I'm very fashionable. I come from far away, to be more precise, from South Africa.
Do you know why I'm called the bird of paradise? My flowers open in the shape of a hand fan (abanico), very similar to the shape of a bird. I reproduce myself from seeds or cuttings and I usually flower several times a year.

care tips
The Strelitzias are plants that need a lot of light, they can even be put in full sun if they are introduced little by little to it. During the winter, place them in the sunniest window with artificial light as a supplement.
When it grows outdoors it needs to be in areas where the temperature does not fall below 5ºC. For the temperature to flourish it must be above 12ºC. Once they are settled, they can survive with a shortage of water, especially during the winter, although in summer it will be necessary to provide them with water regularly and in depth. We recommend to remove the yellowish or brown leaves and cut the flower when it's passed.
