Strelitzia reginae
Light
The White Bird of Paradise thrives when provided with bright light, including some direct sunlight, to promote optimal blooming. However, it’s crucial to shield the plant from the intense midday summer sun, especially for younger plants, as excessive exposure can lead to leaf burn. Ideal placements include rooms with windows facing east or west, ensuring a well-balanced exposure to sunlight while avoiding locations with only north-facing windows.
Water
In terms of watering, maintaining consistently moist soil is essential throughout the year. While it’s important to avoid waterlogging, the plant’s large leaves contribute to increased moisture loss, necessitating daily watering during the spring and summer. When watering, ensure that the excess water drains from the drainage holes, preventing water accumulation in the saucer. Overwatering may result in crunchy brown leaves, while underwatering may cause the outer leaves to turn yellow. Finding the right balance in watering practices is key to fostering the health and vibrancy of the White Bird of Paradise.
Hardiness Zones
The White Bird of Paradise plant is rated for Zones 10 to 12.
Pet Friendliness
Not safe. White birds of paradise are toxic to pets.
