Strelitzia reginae advice

Hello, I bought a Strelitzia Reginae plant a few months back in a 13cm pot. It has been growing new leaves and is currently about 30cm tall. I have noticed now that roots are now protruding from the base of the pot. Should I re-pot it? If so when? Should I do it now or wait until next spring? What size pot should I use? Any recommendations on what commercially available compost/soil I should use?

Any help gratefully accepted.

 

They do have big thick fleshy roots and very quickly fill a pot.
If you are going to repot I'd do it now before growth starts to slow, it will give it a few months to get established.
I use a mix of multi purpose compost and JI compost.
Where are you growing it indoors, greenhouse or outside.

 

Thanks for your reply. I'm growing indoors in a garden room (solid roof conservatory). It's not heated in the winter so I plan to bring it into the house when the weather cools.

 

Try to get it in a sunny position especially in winter.
I'd just move it up a couple of pot sizes, better than putting it into a big pot at this stage.
They will survive frost free so I'd say don't molly coddle it too much and keep it moist but not wet during the winter.

 

Many thanks Pete.
