  • Plant Care Tips: White Bird of Paradise

  • Place your Strelitzia nicolai in a spot with partial to full sun but avoid excessive sunlight as this can scorch its leaves. If you start noticing dark spots, it's a sign of too much sun!
  • Let half of the soil dry between waterings, let the soil get moist, not soggy. Too much water can cause root rot. Yellowing leaves mean that they need more hydration.
  • Mist the plant regularly to increase the humidity levels and keep its leaves clear of built-up dust.
  • Ideal temperatures are between 18 and 27ºC. Avoid cold draughts. This plant is not tolerant to frost.
  • During the growing season, feed it with a general-purpose fertiliser once every two to three weeks. Do not feed it during the colder months.
  • Younger plants will need to be repotted once a year, established ones only need repotting once every 3 years. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic light soil mix.
  • Regular pruning is recommended. Remove yellowing, damaged or dead leaves to give room for new ones to grow.
  • You can propagate your White Bird of Paradise through division. Divide your plant’s rhizome during one of your repotting sessions.
