Growing it from seed, oh wow, it is like an orchid, taking same time to reach blooming size. Reginae has lovely blooms and it is more manageable than the nicolai which is very very huge. A friend of mine brought a cutting of nicolai from Madeira and it grew rapidly to 3 mts high and kept on growing. It looks very much like a banana tree. I saw it in bloom several times and they are impressive, coming in clusters with several huge bracts with white sepals and a light blue petal. Not as colourful as reginae, though !!!!
I agree with you about Strelitzia nicolai being too big for the home environment however the adventurer in me is always willing to give it a try. Probably just as well this one is S. reginae. Saw S, nicolai in flower in the Botanic Gardens last Sunday. What a legend!
Me, who has managed to kill 8 of them in short order. Meanwhile, the ones that grow outside have survived two freezes down to -7° C.
Plants always love to shame us like this. Little horrors 😂
Sorry, disagree: Every time you destroy a plastic pot you make plastic waste. When you you destroy a clay pot you make... stones? ;)
I understand your point, which is very valid. However, most gardeners have heaps of plastic pots that plants have come in. It's a much better idea to reuse them rather than immediately send for recycling in favour of buying in a clay pot. It's all about reusing.
@@GardeningatDouentza Yes. Reuse & use only if you think it is very necessary.

Well.. "Blast From the Past" :) I had a huge one: 6 feet tall x 8 feet wide in my Greenhouse (in a 20 gallon tub) They're a pain to divide when mature .Roots are so Tough/Stiff. Very Easy to grow in most environments.
Sounds like you had a monster 😯😅
Lovely video thank you. Happy New Year xx
Thank you. Happy New Year to you too

Looking forward to your indoor plant repots as I'm not an outdoor gardener.

Can't wait to see what she looks like next year!!
Me too, Wanda. It's just shooting up!
