Also known as the Wild Banana or Crane Plant, Strelitzia are known for their lush, tropical foliage. They make stunning architectural plants, due to their tall erect stems and wide, banana-like, paddle shaped leaves.
The Strelitzia reginea is the smaller, orange flowering relative of Strelizia nicolai (the white flowering Bird of Paradise).
Please note: Bird of Paradise may not always flower when kept indoors and plants are not shipped in flower. The leaves naturally tear and have a shabby chic, rugged appearance and foliage is unlikely to be pristine.
الضوء
Best in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves and damage the flowers, however some early morning or late afternoon sun is OK. Can tolerate partial shade for short periods.
غرس الأشجار
Keep the soil moist (not soggy) during warmer months and water when the top 4-5cm of the soil has become slightly dry. During the colder months, allow the soil to dry-out a little more. Do not allow to stand in water.
درجة الحرارة
The Bird of Paradise prefers warm temperatures from 21-28°C but can cope with temperatures as low as 13°C.
رطوبة
Will do best with increased humidity but can usually cope in normal household conditions. Increase the surrounding humidity in the winter to combat dry air from central heating.
التمويل
Apply a balanced fertiliser to your Bird of Paradise every few weeks during the growing season.
ارتفاع و معدل النمو
Strelitzia reginea Bird of Paradise is fast-growing in warm conditions, typically reaching an ultimate height of around 1 – 1.5 metres .
بلوزم أفكار
🌱Feeling the Burn! Even plants suffer sunburn, and the Bird of Paradise is no exception. While this plant prefers bright light, find a spot free of direct sunlight to avoid scorching.
🌱The leaves will split naturally as the plant matures. This is to allow light to reach the lower parts of the plant. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth.
