What to do if Strelitzia leaves are curling

Strelitzia root burn causes leaves to curl

When we plant Strelitzia, we may use too much fertilizer because we want it to grow faster. This behavior is not advisable because too much fertilizer will not only not make the Strelitzia grow faster, but will cause the roots of the Strelitzia to burn. Therefore, we cannot apply excessive fertilizer to prevent the roots of the Strelitzia from burning. On the other hand, if we use raw fertilizer that has not been fermented when applying fertilizer, it will also cause burns to the roots of Strelitzia, so we must ferment the raw fertilizer until it is well decomposed before applying it.

Strelitzia leaves curl due to excessive sunlight

Because Strelitzia is native to tropical Africa, it prefers a warm, humid and sunny environment. However, we cannot expose Strelitzia to strong sunlight for a long time, as this will cause the leaves of Strelitzia to curl. Therefore, we must control the length and intensity of sunshine for Strelitzia reginae and prevent it from getting sunburned.

Improper watering of Strelitzia causes leaves to curl

If we use an inappropriate watering method, the leaves of Strelitzia will curl. This is because we do not water the soil where the Strelitzia is planted thoroughly when watering. The roots of the Strelitzia cannot absorb water, and the lack of water will cause the leaves of the Strelitzia to curl. Therefore, we must water the soil thoroughly when watering to ensure that the roots get sufficient water to prevent the leaves from curling.
