CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions to keep your Wild Bananahealthy and happy.

• Water:During the summer months, the Strelitzia will need regular watering to keep the soil moist. During winter and autumn, water less allowing the soil to almost dry out before the next water. Careful not to let the soil be waterlogged.
• Light:Plenty of bright light. Our variety is “soft grown” in a greenhouse, so harsh, direct sunlight won’t be tolerated. Some softer direct morning sun will be fine. Too little light and the Wild Banana won’t be happy.
• Humidity: Normal room humidity will be fine.
• Fertilize:Feedtwice a monthduring the growing period (Spring-Summer) cutting back during its dormancy (colder season).
