In the autumn you can leave the soil to dry out a little longer, and by the end of November (in Britain) the soil should be almost fully dry before you water again. The easiest way to check the moisture levels is by sticking your finger into the soil to the required depth, or by checking the soil through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. You will soon become accustomed to how often you should be watering your plant, so vigorous soil checking should no longer be a necessity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity: Moderate\/High\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStrelitzia nicolai are tropical plants and therefore enjoy high levels of humidity, although they can usually cope with average household humidity levels. During the winter months when central heating (a known air dryer) might be used, it may be worth increasing the moisture levels around the plant by spraying with a water misting bottle or placing a dish filled with stones and water beneath the plant. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no need to prune your Strelitzia but you can remove any tatty leaves during the Spring and Summer months by cutting them off where the leaf meets the main stem. This should encourage new growth too!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrelitzias wont always flower as an indoor plant, and are not shipped whilst in flower unless pictured otherwise. To encourage the plant to flower, make sure to meet its home environment needs and feed during spring and summer (April-September in Britain) with a houseplant fertiliser. If your Strelitzia still doesn't flower, enjoy it for its architectural shape and impressive banana shaped leaves. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36668662349985,"sku":"","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1802\/1289\/products\/strelizia_nicolai.jpg?v=1602687553","url":"https:\/\/forest.london\/products\/strelitzia-nicolai-local-delivery-or-click-collect-only","provider":"Forest ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
