Light
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.
Watering
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.
Temperature
The Bird of Paradise prefers warm temperatures from 21-28°C but can cope with temperatures as low as 13°C.
Humidity
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.
Feed
Apply a balanced fertiliser to your Bird of Paradise every few weeks during the growing season.
Height & Growth Rate
Strelitzia reginea Bird of Paradise is fast-growing in warm conditions, typically reaching an ultimate height of around 1 – 1.5 metres .
Blozem Hints
🌱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.
