I keep mine in direct sun through glass until it is warm enough to
put out!

Older leaves do go brown and shrivel, but that's how Strelitzias
grow. If you regard that as damage, then half-shade is probably
desirable.

I've noticed that I mis-read David's post and he wasn't talking about them
under glass. I've forwarded your reply to him, so we'll see if he can
clarify.
