The Bird of Paradise (Strelizia spp.) is a flamboyant, colourful and exotic looking plant that has striking bird-like orange, yellow or white flowers and narrow paddle shaped leaves. Native to Africa, it grows well in Australia and makes a perfect indoor plant in a brightly lit room.
Not enough sunlight or moisture may hinder the development of the flowers.
Dust the leaves regularly with a soft cloth. Dust can clog up the pores of the leaves and make it difficult for the leaves to function.
The Bird of Paradise is poisonous if eaten by animals such as dogs, cats & horses.
May take 4-5 years before it’s first flower, but it’s definitely worth persevering!
