Bird of Paradise

Strelitzia nicolai

A spectacular, large tropical plant with massive, banana-like leaves. Indoors, it creates an unmatched jungle atmosphere, though it rarely blooms outside of a greenhouse.

Care Requirements

Light

Needs very bright light, including several hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive indoors.

Water

Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure good drainage, as it dislikes sitting in water.
