- Strelitzia Nicolai Bird of paradise problems, need your help! | Trying to save my Strelitzia from dark and brown spots.
I have a very nice Stretlizia nicolai also called bird of paradise plant. It was growing big and was thriving with green lush leaves. Suddenly in November it started to get problems with dry, yellow, dark and brown spots. I have done some research about it, and in this video I am trying to save it from dying. I also hope if any of you have any tips and tell me what could be the problem.
I will continue to update you on the progress of this lovely Bird of paradise plant, and if I am able to save it.

Hello! Your plant is now “dormant” and should only be watered when the soil is relatively “dry”. At a moisture meter the soil should be between 2 and 3, regardless of the type of soil. When spring comes and warmer weather with a lot more “sun” the plant will start releasing new leaves again. Move it closer to the windows now in the winter, if your windows have good glass ..that there is no draft if the windows have only "one" glass. If you do not have the opportunity to bring it closer to the window so that the plant gets more light, buy a grow light, or a simple LED bulb (6500 kelvins / 1500/1550 lumens) and place some 50/70 cm above the plant so that the light does not burn the plant. with stagnant tap water 24/48, "room temperature", or distilled water or rainwater if you can store it in a plastic container.Spray the plant with distilled water, not tap water due to chlorine and limescale deposits. Transplant the plant into new soil in the spring (60% ordinary soil for houseplants and 40% perlite or 40% pumice). Fertilize the plant from spring to autumn with half the dose of what is prescribed on the fertilizer bottle! If it says half a cap to 5 liters of water, put in half less. Add fertilizer every 2 weeks during the growth of new leaves with diluted fertilizer.
Thank you very much for such a good explanation😀😍
Where do I cut off the bad leaves. Bottom or top
Está planta es valorada por sus flores, saludos.
Happy holidays to you as well
same to you 😀
My plant is doing the same and I also got mine from Ikea! Someone suggested overfertilization. Since I know I haven’t fertilized it myself, my assumption is that there is fertilizer in it from the greenhouse. My plan is to flush the soil with water to help remove the fertilizer.
I am sorry to hear that Tia 😔 It is really sad to see that when they are like that. Mine is getting better now finally. I am very becareful with watering in the winter. I just cut all of those damage leaves because they will never gonna return to nice leaves anymore. I wish good luck with yours 😀😃
Did you manage to resolve the problem by flushing the soil to remove the fertiliser?
I am having the same problem with my plant purchased from IKEA
SAME I GOT MINE FROM IKEA AS WELL
I have the same problem. I hope it’ll bounce back now that i’ve decided to water in only 15 days
I read somewhere that you should get rid of old worn and dry leaves stems and flowers so plant energy gets diverted to the new growth
thank you so much for very useful and kind advice 😀😍
I have brown wilted leaves on mine. Do I just cut the leaf itself off or part of the stem?
@@jmichelle216 Hi, if the brown spot is on the edge of the leaf, it is just fine to cut the edges. But it is right middle of the leaf then I would rather cut it the whole stem 😃
Hello ! After repotting my plant, some roots were rotten. Maybe you should check if it is the rotten roots that cause your problem.
Thank you 😃 I will check. If you see some roots rot when you repot, you can wash the root with dishwasher soap. I did for my monsters root root, but not sure with Bop 😄
Birds of paradise is my favorite plant. I took the plunge to try and care for it 2 mo ago. It was doing well but now not so much. I have 2 leaves that are all over brown, others curling and I'm so sad. I read the roots should be white or tan and anything dark or mushy is considered root rot. Only 2 of the roots are dark. Do I cut off those roots? Leave them and let the plant sit out of soil for 24hrs to help dry out and then replant? I'm trying to save her if possible but she is definitely not doing well.
Hi, sorry to hear that and I totally understand you. I had same experience 😔. Normally you should cut off the roten part from the root and wash the rest part with dish washing soap to kill the bacteria and any potential infection. And let it dry for a day and plant with new soil and new pot. Hope it is a helpful answer 😃😍
Mine has the same brown spots, I’ve tried many things, but the spraying. Right now almost all leaves have the brown spots and thinking just to get rid of it. Any updates or advice on what you did to recover the plant? Maybe a follow-up video? Thank you!
Hei Nathalia, Thank you for stopping by 😀, i just made a follow up video, you can check it out all the tips that used for this giant plant 😀
I have seen a video that the leaves were going brown due to lack of sun!
@@elbell6910 yes, that can happen in winter months. It is also call dormant
It looks like those are sun spots indicating the sun level may be too high. If its in direct sun move it to a spot where it is indirect but still bright.
Hi Baldee, Thank you so much for such a good advice 😀😊
I have one too
Stabing the roots with moisture meter every time you check if it's dry may cause problems too
Thank you for very good advice 😀
This is same thing that happened to me. I was told I fertilized it too much. It hasn’t given me new foliage in months :(
You could have a humidity problem as well because of the leaf curling. Try putting a pebble tray under the plant. That’s what I did and it is helping more than spraying the plants! Look up pebble tray!
Yes, I agree !! The pebble tray help alot. I noticed the rest of the leaf are not damage anymore 😃 I like to spary everyday too, just extra care 😁
Too much love😬
Update!! I put my plant outside on our covered patio. It has given me so much new growth and I put her in a larger pot
I would take it out of the pot. It looks like fungi. Quite probably the soil is diffrent close to roots. The roots could rot. I would clean all the earth close to root. Cut all the rotten roots and spray it with antifungi. In my case that was wrong soil. The plant aarived soaked in water. The soil was diffrent on the top and bottom. I water my strelizia once a week. It is something wrong that the soil does not dry over weeks
Thank you for very good advice Ewa 😀 they are back to good condition now and shooting up alot of new born 😀😀
Mine is doing the same. When I first got it for the first week the soil felt dry so I watered it like 3 -4 times in like a 10 day period. Then all of a sudden I noticed the soil was damp and I did not water for 2 weeks. I've been having issues since then. I've repoted. Change the soil. My roots are brown so I ended up doing a hydrogen peroxide rinse, it's been a week since the rinse and it has not needed any water still. I just noticed today I have fungus gnats. I don't know what else to do. I'm trying to be patient and let the soil dry out on its own. My leaves are pretty good still. It's almost like nothing has happened and I've had it about a month now. Lmao I've had to rearrange my whole living room to have it as close to the patio doors as possible. Lol it's my first house plant so I'm trying to do what I can to save it. Help!
Hi Shara, how your strelitzia going ? Mine, has got more or less the same issue. Air is too dry.
Hi Alex, the plant is doing really grate now. I even got a new shoot a few day ago. I just water once in a week now 😀. I hope yours get well soon too 😀
I have bougt my strlizia in Ikea in Sweden two weeks ago and have same problem.
I was looking for answer what is the problem and i found it. It is insect named in sweden Trips/thrips.
Other flowers i bought the same time have same problem.
Hei, sorry to hear that !! i always like to use the dishwashing soap and neem oil for all insect problem and it is work for me. You can also try it, if you dont have access for neem oil , you can try only soap water. Spary directly on the Trips everyday, until they are complete gone. Good luck 😀
Great video
Thank you :)
Hello i have buy my strelizia on ikea store in france and i have the similar problem ...
Yes, I also bought in IKEA, here I Norway. I guess we have same issue which is low humidity. I don't have any humidifier so just spare them everyday 😀. Good luck with your 😄
do you water with tap water or spring water?
I use tap water 😀😊
Always best to use rain water 2nd best is distilled and lastly tap water but I'd boil it then let it go cold.
It is not the sun,
Ohh pls come straight to the point. Can’t wait !
This is ridiculous! you talk to much! just explain the problem in few words and give the solution if you really wanna help.
Don't watch then.
