Bird of Paradise Plant, Strelitzia Nicolai
The Bird of Paradise is a species of evergreen tropical herbaceous plant, native to South Africa. Here in the coastal region of the eastern Cape, where the climate is mild and wet, the Bird of Paradise thrives. These tropical plants feel at home in high humidity, so make sure to mist regularly and leave 2” of its top soil to dry out between weekly waterings. Their large leaves that give the Bird of Paradise it’s bird-like form are believed to protect the plant from drag and tear in the wind. This variety is grown for its stunning foliage and does not flower.
