Strelitzia Nicolai or Bird of Paradise طائر الجنة

A tropical plant, with larger than life leaves. This regal plant makes a statement in any room it is placed in.

Light: Lots of bright sunlight
Place next to a bright window that gets direct sunlight for that at least 6 hours a day (ideally 8).

Water: Every 1-2 weeks
Bird of Paradise plants like their soil to remain slightly moist.

To check if your plant is ready to be watered, simply touch the top of the soil with your fingertip.

If it feels dry, slowly water the soil so that it’s completely saturated – you’ll know it’s fully saturated when water drips out drainage hole on the bottom of the nursery pot.

The more light your plant gets, the more you’ll need to water it. Similarly, the less light it gets, the less it will need.

Difficulty: Some care required

This plant can be fairly picky in terms of light, but if placed in a bright spot and watered when needed, it’ll thrive!

Pets: Careful with pets

This plant may cause stomach irritation if ingested.
