Few houseplants command attention quite like the Strelitzia Reginae, commonly known as the Bird of Paradise. With its grand, paddle-shaped leaves and upright structure, it brings an immediate sense of the exotic tropics to your home.
Native to South Africa, this plant is celebrated for its architectural beauty. Even without flowers, the glossy, deep green foliage creates a stunning sculptural silhouette, making it the perfect focal point for a bright living room or conservatory.
While patience is required for blooms, mature plants rewarded with the right care may one day unveil their spectacular orange and blue flowers, resembling the head of a tropical crane. Supplied in a 12cm nursery pot, this young plant is the perfect starting point to grow a magnificent botanical giant in your own home.

Care & Placement:
-
Light: This plant craves light. Place it in the brightest spot you have—a sunny south-facing window or conservatory is ideal.
-
Water: Water freely during the warmer months, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter.
-
Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (Spring/Summer).
-
Humidity: Strelitzia enjoys humidity; mist the leaves occasionally to keep them looking fresh and glossy.
