# ‘Stella’ my Strelitzia was looking poorly and after checking the…

_Posted by Dave on 2024-04-04_

‘Stella’ my Strelitzia was looking poorly and after checking the roots I found she was over watered and rotting. I’ve cut away the rotten roots and repotted into two separate pots with good drainage. So I now have ‘Stella’ and ‘Stavros’ - Any recommendations to keep them both healthy, happy and alive welcome! 🪴💚

That is not a reginae (orange BoP). It may be a white (Nicolai). If it is, I would say it’s SUPER leggy and needs more light.
