Potsize (diameter): 12 cm, Approx Height: 30 cm.
Supplied in a plastic pot. Fits our Pisa Pot & Lucca Plant Pot.
This classic houseplant has sturdy, dark green leaves. You may notice that they resemble the Banana Plant, surprisingly the two are from completely different plant families - but both bring a wonderful tropical appearance to your home.
Named because of the massive & exotic flowers that bloom on very mature plants in the wild (it’s rare for plants to flower indoors). This tall, sculptural plant can grow to over 6 foot given the right conditions. Repot in the spring when the roots start are bursting from its container, do this sparingly as they actually prefer their roots to be snug.
If you fancy, when it becomes more mature, you can grow your Bird of Paradise outside on a balcony or in a sheltered garden during the summer months and then bring it back inside during the winter, just make sure you fetch it in when the temperature begins to drop.
Care:
Light: Will tolerate some direct light but thrive in bright indirect light.
Water: Water once the top third of soil has dried out, do not let it sit in water.
Food: Feed monthly during the growing season but not during the winter.
Humidity: Appreciative of high humidity, we recommend using a humidifier or regularly misting the leaves.
