From our Warsan 3 nursery
Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia) is a tropical foliage plant from South Africa that grows broad, paddle shaped leaves on long upright stalks, giving a room height without a woody trunk.
Four heights are listed in a nursery pot: 90cm at AED 250, 120cm at AED 350, 150cm at AED 350 and 190cm at AED 600. You can add a decorative pot of your choice separately.
Bird of Paradise stores water in thick, fleshy roots, so a pot kept constantly moist in a cooled Dubai room rots from the base before the leaves show any warning. Letting the compost dry between waterings matters more for this plant than the exact watering day.
Place Bird of Paradise within one metre of the brightest window in the room, where a few hours of direct winter sun reach the leaves. Water when the top 5 centimetres of compost are dry, roughly every 7 to 10 days in a cooled room and less from December to February. Wipe the leaves monthly, because dust on the broad blades cuts the light the plant uses.
Beside floor to ceiling glass, in a bright living room corner, or at the end of a villa hallway with a tall window. The 90cm and 120cm sizes suit apartments, and the 150cm and 190cm sizes fill double height spaces and office receptions. See our tall plants for bright offices.
No. Bird of Paradise is not safe for cats and dogs, because the ASPCA lists Strelitzia reginae as toxic to both, and eating the seeds or fruit causes mild nausea, vomiting and drowsiness. Choose from our pet friendly plant range instead.
Rarely. Bird of Paradise flowers once the plant is 3 to 5 years old and receives at least 4 hours of direct sun daily, which few indoor positions provide. Judge an indoor plant on leaf size and steady new growth.
Bird of Paradise leaves curl inward along the midrib when the plant is short of water or sits in the direct airflow of an AC vent. Water thoroughly, then move the pot out of the path of the vent.
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.
