Bird of
Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) is an
easy plant to grow in the garden. Plants do well in full sun to
semi-shade, love a rich loamy soil and plenty of water
throughout the year. They respond well to regular feeding with a
slow release fertilizer and compost. They are however very
tolerant plants and will thrive in most soils and can survive
with very little water once established. The plants are also
wind resistant and grow well in coastal gardens. Strelitzias are
sensitive to cold and would need a sheltered position in areas
with frost as the flowers and leaves are often damaged by frost.
In very cold climates it is better to grow them in pots that
could be moved indoors when freezing temperatures are expected.
