White Bird of Paradise | Live Plants | Strelitzia Nicolai | Beautiful Rare Foliage Specimen

This giant tropical evergreen has oversized white flowers that bloom from Winter to Spring. Upright in nature, this plant can reach up to 30 feet in height in the right climate. Though flowers are rare if kept indoors, this plant makes an excellent house plant or accent plant. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. My botanical name is Strelitzia nicolai but I am more commonly known as White Bird of Paradise. I have a large flat deep green oval leaves similar to banana trees. The highly sought after bird of paradise has been cultivated for nearly 250 years. Their showy flowers resemble a bird in flight, and give them their name. These majestic plants are pictured on the 50 cent rand in their native South Africa and are the floral emblem of Los Angeles. In the wild, they’re pollinated by sunbirds, a group of small birds with brightly colored and iridescent feathers. Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Pro tip: Birds of Paradise can benefit from filtered water or water left out overnight before using.
