20 Seed - BIRD OF PARADISE (Strelitzia reginae) Flower - For Your Garden Flower
Sow indoors at any time of year.
Before sowing, remove the bright orange tuft of hairs attached to the seed (aril of each seed), the hard seeds can be scarified (nicked or scratched) to increase germination. To scarify, soak the seeds in lukewarm water for several hours, and then nick them with a knife or small file. Scarified seeds will germinate in two to three months.
Another way to increase germination time is to put un-scarified seeds in a plastic bag and place them in a refrigerator at 4°C for two weeks. Then scarify and sow them.
Sow in seed trays filled with a well-drained soil medium at a depth of 1.25cm (½”)
Keep at a constant temperature of 25°C, low temperatures retard germination. The soil mix must be kept consistently damp until the seeds germinate. To ensure a moist, humid environment, cover the seed container with a sheet of glass or clear plastic and place it in indirect light.
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.
