From seed, under
ideal conditions birds of paradise will flower within 3 years.
To get a mature flowering plant from seed takes about three to
five years. For best results sow fresh seed in spring. Before
sowing, remove the bright orange tuft of hairs attached to the
seed and soak in CB-QGG for 20 minutes. Foll CB-QGG label
instructions. Sow in seedtrays filled with a well-drained soil
medium at a depth of 1,5 times the size of the seed. A constant
temperature of 25 C is most suitable for germination as low
temperatures retard germination. Germination takes four to eight
weeks. Seedlings should be a good size before transplanted (two
to three leaves) into a well drained medium. Young strelitzia
plants must be grown in shade, for the leaves tend to burn in
direct sunlight. Regular repotting allows the young plant to
develop rapidly. Restricting the root development retards
growth.
