Plant Growing Tips

Where to Grow

Bird of Paradise plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate direct sunlight. They are ideal for outdoor gardens in sunny positions or indoors near large windows that receive plenty of light. Ensure they receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering.

Climate

This plant prefers a warm, tropical to subtropical climate but can tolerate cooler temperatures down to about 5°C. It is best suited for areas with mild winters and does well in coastal environments.

Soil Type

Plant in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. A general-purpose potting mix with added compost works well. Ensure the soil is kept consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.

Fertilizer

Fertilise your Bird of Paradise every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding during the autumn and winter months.
