What to do if you water Strelitzia too much

Overwatering Strelitzia

If the Strelitzia is watered too much, some of its leaves will wilt and become soft, but some of the leaves will remain relatively firm, so once you see this happening to the plant, it means you have received too much water.

If Strelitzia reginae is overwatered, stop watering immediately, drain the excess water in the pot in time, loosen the soil appropriately, and place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry the excess water to help the plant recover as soon as possible.

Will Strelitzia die if I water it too much?

Strelitzia will die if you water it too much, because too much water will cause water accumulation in the pot. If you don't deal with it in time, the roots of the plant will be soaked in water for a long time, and then they will rot, affecting their growth, or even causing death.

Key points for watering Strelitzia reginae

1. The leaves of Strelitzia reginae are relatively large and water evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to water it sufficiently. Generally, water it after the soil in the pot becomes a little dry. Water it thoroughly at one time, but when the temperature is relatively low, you need to reduce the amount of water appropriately, and be careful not to allow water to accumulate.

2. In summer, when the temperature is high, Strelitzia reginae generally needs to be watered once a day. When the air is dry, you need to spray the leaves of the plant and the surrounding ground with clean water in the morning and evening to increase the air humidity. In winter, you should reduce watering and keep the soil slightly dry.

3. Normally, you only need to use tap water to water Strelitzia to ensure its vigorous growth. However, the tap water needs to stand for a few days before watering, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the plant.
