Strelitzia reginae, bird of paradise thinning replanting
Hiya,
I'm not a gardner so speak slow =) My landscape was overgrown
from many owners letting it grow, I've just about got everything
cleared or cutback.
I think this is what it is, it has the grogeous orange like crane
looking flowers. I have 2 of them, around 4 feet tall and with a wide
spread, however like everything else around here they're both within
12 inches of one another.
I want to keep 1 of these where its at and move another to another
location as they're very crowded and I can't get in there to maintain/
clear out the dead leaves.
Is this possible? how large of a root ball/system should I expect? How
do I do this? Can I then divide it and have multiple plants? how is
that done?
Also I assume you do not prune these but instead just cut the dead
leaves off?
Thanks for any information as I love these but I either got to kill
one or replant it.
thanks!
