From the classic orange-flowering Strelitzia reginae and the compact dwarf form to the almost leafless Strelitzia juncea and the large Strelitzia nicolai.

The seeds are large and distinctive and germinate best under warm conditions. Germination time can vary significantly from seed to seed, so it is perfectly normal that the six types do not appear at the same time. Before sowing, remove the orange tuft (aril) from the seeds if it is still attached. It is beneficial to soak the seeds in lukewarm water for about 24–48 hours, allowing the hard seed coat to absorb water. Sow the seeds individually in the provided pots and keep the soil lightly moist, but not constantly wet. Place the pots in a bright and warm location. A temperature around 25 °C or slightly higher provides good conditions for germination. Once the first plants appear, the truly exciting part begins. Initially, the different Strelitzia may look alike, but as the plants grow, the differences in growth habit and leaves become more apparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSix Strelitzia – six different expressions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is curated so that you not only get six portions of Strelitzia seeds but also the opportunity to grow some of the genus's different expressions side by side. \u003cem\u003eStrelitzia reginae\u003c\/em\u003e represents the classic bird of paradise flower, while 'Dwarf' provides a more compact growth. 'Mandela's Gold' is something quite special with its yellow flowers. \u003cem\u003eStrelitzia nicolai\u003c\/em\u003e goes in the opposite direction and can eventually develop into an impressively large plant. \u003cem\u003eStrelitzia parvifolia\u003c\/em\u003e and especially \u003cem\u003eStrelitzia juncea\u003c\/em\u003e show a completely different side of the genus with narrower and more distinctive foliage. In the adult \u003cem\u003eStrelitzia juncea\u003c\/em\u003e, the broad leaf blade is greatly reduced, giving the plant its characteristic rush-like appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom seed to exotic plants\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrelitzia thrives in bright light and preferably direct sun once the plants are established. In summer, they benefit from being placed outdoors in a warm and sunny location, where they often reward you with vigorous growth. The included organic slow-release fertilizer can be used once the young plants have gotten well started and established a good root system. This starter kit is therefore suitable both for you who want to try growing Strelitzia for the first time, and for the plant collector who thinks it is more fun to start from scratch. It is also an obvious gift for a plant enthusiast – with a small exotic growing project that can develop for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"a Piece of Nature","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62084907204876,"sku":null,"price":449.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/6728\/8588\/files\/Strelitziastartpakke.png?v=1789488927"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/6728\/8588\/collections\/Eksotiske_planter_strelitzia_f6391f9e-2123-4712-84af-2811ceb7cb0d.jpg?v=1705477438","url":"https:\/\/www.apieceofnature.eu\/en\/collections\/strelitzia-fro.oembed","provider":"a Piece of Nature","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
