This page has details of how to grow Strelitzia and how to over-winter them contained by the UK...assuming you are in the UK. If you live contained by somewhere slightly warmer such as California they should be OK planted outside.
Easy to grow surrounded by South Florida or other warm climates. The plant is not frost/freeze tolerant. Full sun or uncertainty for flowers, mulch, adquate moisture, moderate fertilizer.
Have a holiday in Madeira they deal in them there,they are gorgous.
I planted one of mine contained by the ground (full shade)....and have transplanted 2 into larger pots (also surrounded by full shade). All seem to be doing all right...though I neglect the potted ones more than the planted one. I river the potted ones maybe once a week. I sea the planted one almost every day.
