How not to kill your White Bird Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your White Bird Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Direct

I love the light! A big ol' dose of bright, sunlight each day is my idea of heaven. I'm even up for some direct rays, just as long as it's not a scorcher. That said, I'm pretty adaptable. If light or dappled shade is all you've got, I won't complain.

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.

Humidity: Normal

Atmospherics? I'm really not that bothered, actually. Just your everyday household humidity is fine. No extra attention required, thanks, so don't be comin' at me with that spritzer!

Memento Top Tip

Allow space for the leaves. Natural splits can develop and do not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.
