Also known as the Strelitzia Nicolai, the Bird of Paradise is popular enough amongst plant enthusiasts that it almost demands to be considered houseplant royalty. The huge, long dark emerald foliage takes advantage of every drop of sunshine and humidity it can. Bright, neon green new growth bursts its way out from the thick stems in the middle of the plant. As the leaves age, small slits can form to allow air to pass through.
As the leaves arch toward the sun and fan out, the Bird of Paradise brings tropical, warm vibes to every home! Naturally from South Africa, this beauty thrives best in bright, diffused sunlight. The medium Bird of Paradise comes in a 6” wide plastic grow pot and can add a burst of greenery to any table, shelf, or desktop. In the right conditions, this plant can grow up to 1.5 feet in a year!
