The leaves are broad and dark green and split naturally along the veins. At this height the plant fills a corner where a 150 cm specimen still looks lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to put it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Strelitzia nicolai wants plenty of light. A few hours of direct sun a day is fine, but harsh midday sun behind glass scorches the leaf edges. Keep it away from a radiator and out of the draught of a door that opens often. Those are the two usual causes of brown leaf edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWater and feeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater about once a week and let the top layer of soil dry out in between. From April to September, feed it liquid plant food every two weeks. Turn the pot a quarter every now and then, so the plant grows straight up instead of towards the window. Repot every two years, into a pot one size larger.

Indoors it rarely flowers, so you buy it for the leaves. Dutch growers raise these plants and we send them straight from the greenhouse, in a box we have made for this height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOther sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same species comes smaller too: the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/strelitzia-nicolai-170-cm\"\u003eStrelitzia nicolai at 170 cm\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/strelitzia-nicolai-190-cm\"\u003eStrelitzia nicolai at 190 cm\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everspring","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52396244042074,"sku":"25513","price":169.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/6430\/5754\/files\/thumbnail_2000_ff82f296-6ef6-47a5-a32c-c039e14cc269.jpg?v=1751023757","url":"https:\/\/xxlplant.com\/en\/products\/strelitzia-nicolai-xxl-250-cm","provider":"XXLplant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
