Bird of Paradise
Bird of Paradise, scientifically known as Strelitzia reginae, is a dramatic and exotic plant celebrated for its striking, bird-like flowers and lush, banana-like foliage. Native to South Africa, this plant is renowned for its vibrant orange and blue flowers that resemble the plumage of a bird, making it a standout addition to gardens and indoor spaces. Bird of Paradise typically grows to 5 to 6 feet in height, with large, arching leaves that add a tropical flair. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light, though it can also tolerate some direct sun. Regular watering is needed, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot. This plant benefits from occasional feeding during the growing season. At Balaji Blossoms, we offer a selection of high-quality Bird of Paradise plants, perfect for creating a vibrant and exotic atmosphere in your home or garden.
