I ordered 5 of these Strelitzia Nicolai from Platypus Plants. The quality of the plants is outstanding, they are so healthy and strong. The best Strelitzia I have ever seen. Marvin and Karli were also very lovely, and the plants were delivered quickly. I will buy all my plants from here in the future. 10/10 recommend!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure meeting you. Please let us know if you have any questions in future!

The service I got from the lovely couple was above and beyond! So friendly and personable
The plants arrived amazing and much bigger the I expected. It took awhile for them to settle in with all the rain we had but now are doing amazing! Very happy this company. Totally recommend
