{"product_id":"bird-of-paradise-duo","title":"Bird of Paradise Duo","description":"\u003cp\u003eBird of Paradise Duo is a pair of matched Strelitzia plants, each carrying broad paddle leaves on long upright stalks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth plants measure 110cm and the pair costs AED 699, supplied in ceramic pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrelitzia leaves tear along the veins as they age, and that happens faster here because balcony wind, and even an indoor fan, catches the wide blade. The splitting is normal and harmless, but it changes how a matched pair looks after a year outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for Bird of Paradise Duo in the UAE\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis species wants more light than most indoor plants. Keep it within a metre of a bright window, or on a shaded terrace. Water when the top third of the compost dries. Indoors the usual failure is too little light, which stops new leaves forming for months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere Bird of Paradise Duo works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the two plants to frame a patio door, villa entrance or wide window. They also work either side of an outdoor seating area from October to April.

Flowering needs years of maturity and strong light. Treat these as foliage plants and count any bloom as a bonus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShould I cut off split leaves?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly when a leaf is more brown than green. Splitting is natural, and taking off healthy leaves removes the plant's working surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MyPlants","offers":[{"title":"110cm \/ Ceramic Pot","offer_id":54004776862015,"sku":null,"price":699.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/6820\/6143\/files\/8D3A5EF2-5AA6-4002-B1F3-DCEDB9E78133.png?v=1787066282","url":"https:\/\/myplants.ae\/products\/bird-of-paradise-duo","provider":"MyPlants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
