Product information

Description

Strelitzia nicolai, also known as the Giant White Bird of Paradise, is a striking tropical plant with large, banana-like leaves and tall, upright growth. It can reach up to 20 feet in height outdoors but typically grows 6-8 feet indoors. It is known for its unique, white and blue flowers that resemble birds in flight, though it can take a few years to bloom indoors. Care Requirements: Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Watering: Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot. Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures (65°F-75°F or 18°C-24°C). Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, benefiting from occasional misting. The Giant White Bird of Paradise is a dramatic and low-maintenance plant, making it a beautiful statement piece for indoor spaces. It is toxic to pets, so caution is needed.

Your plant's pot should have holes in the bottom so it is able to drain water easily.

If reusing a pot that had other plants in it, it is recommended you wash the pot, killing any mould or bacteria

Do not over water your plant as the roots will rot.

Most plants need to be kept by a good source of natural light.

Fertiliser

You should fertilise your plant every two months. You can use all purpose fertiliser.

Any dead or fallen leaves should be removed to prevent bacteria and mould. Dead branches should also be removed.
