我冧香港無乜人种 天堂鳥咯！
因為要種係地先能夠开花。
一般盆栽，要根部夠發展，植株才能成熟和開花。
所謂迷你种，矮生种可能係商人加了「矮仔」葯，使他們長不大。
荷蘭天堂鳥？ 首先要知道，天堂鳥是熱帶植物，若真是荷蘭育种，那必定是溫室养出來的。並不合適戶外天然環境。

實際上香港種天堂鳥是戶外種植，有一些花圃都有見到，並不需要特別打理，只要在多雨的日子小心根部不要積水。基本上 植株夠成熟，自然開花。

thankyou very much for your reply.....
I try and see how it goes.....

好潮濕環境, 避風.

嗚~~~原來要種地才能開花,
我上年都整了兩盆....

There are about four varieties of Strelitzia, the most common one is the reginae that a lot of household planted them which is the smallest even it can grow to about 2 meters. this is the one with colourful flower, the other three are augusta(also called alba) grow to about 2 meters, nicolai-can grow up to 2.5 meters and the tallest caudata more than three meters all have white flower. there is also a hybrid one Strelitzia x Kewensis (hybrid between reginae x augusta). I grow mine reginae on ground and is fully established. They are quite free flowering under full sun except in winter,  withstand quite cold temperature (minus 2 degree C average), easy to look after. If you do grow in pot make sure they are big enough for the roots to expand, I have seen them flowered in pot at the local nursery, they do like moist media.
