[Aroid-l] RE: OT Strelitzia, another Question

From: "Redman, Julia" jredman at tigr.org> on 2005.02.09 at 18:16:02(12660) Hi everyone, I hope no-one minds, but I too have a strelitzia question and just didn't know who to ask. I started a batch of Strelitzia nicolai seedlings about a year and a half ago, and they grew very nicely for a while but toward the end of last summer every last one of them stopped growing, including the largest one which was repotted last summer. At first, I thought the largest one was unhappy with the potting mix I provided, as it is not only not growing but also looks yellowed slightly, but then I noticed that the younger plants were also stagnating (but not yellow). They aren't being grown in excessive sunlight; they only get about 2-3 hrs a day right now, but the problem did start in summer when they were on the back porch where they got morning light for about 4 hrs. I realize older plants will take much more light, but didn't think it necessary for these young plants. Any advice/ideas would be appreciated. And thanks for indulging me!
