A sunny room or near a south or west-facing window is ideal. The more light it receives, the better it will grow. Needs plenty of space to show off its large leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"665\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"459\"\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry, keeping the compost lightly moist but never soggy. Reduce watering in winter. Prefers moderate humidity but can tolerate typical indoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"954\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"683\"\u003eHome impact:\u003c\/strong\u003e With its large, banana-like leaves, this plant creates a bold, tropical focal point in any room. Perfect for adding height and drama to interiors. While it contributes to a fresh indoor environment, it is not considered pet-friendly, as it can be toxic if ingested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"1095\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"992\"\u003ePotential height at full growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can reach 2–3 metres indoors over time, with a spread of around 1–2 metres if given enough space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1122\"\u003eHow to look after it:\u003c\/strong\u003e Place in a very bright spot with some direct sun. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top of the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Use a rich, well-draining compost. Feed every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer. Wipe leaves to keep them dust-free and rotate the plant for even growth. Repot every couple of years as it grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1513\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1507\"\u003eBeginner friendliness 4\/5\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1691\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1530\"\u003eEasy Going!\u003c\/strong\u003e Surprisingly low-maintenance for such a dramatic plant. As long as it has plenty of light and isn’t overwatered, it’s very forgiving and rewarding to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1911\"\u003eLeaves may naturally split as they mature, which is completely normal and helps the plant cope with airflow in its natural habitat. Growth can be slower in lower light, so a bright position really makes the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Javado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52898711535952,"sku":"289012","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/3368\/3792\/files\/8720496596215.jpg?v=1775911204","url":"https:\/\/www.bosworthsgc.pro\/products\/strelitzia-nicolai-21cm","provider":"Bosworths Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
