Plant Care Guide
Light
Bright, direct sunlight is best but can tolerate moderate light as well. New growth may be slower and smaller in low light.
Water
Keep soil evenly moist year-round. Don't allow the soil to become soggy or dry out.
Level of Care
Easy! Just give it enough sun and don't overwater.
Air Purifying
Birds of Paradise remove toxins that can build up in indoor spaces. A general rule of thumb is 1 medium houseplant per 100 square feet of space effectively cleans the air we breathe.
Fertilizer
Feed with a liquid, indoor plant fertilizer about once a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter.
Temperature
Tolerates a wide range of temperatures, but prefers 60-85°F. Keep away from drafty windows and air conditioners.
Soil
Use a well-draining, All-Purpose potting soil. Can mix soil with lava rocks to improve drainage. Bird of Paradise likes to be root-bound in pots with drainage holes.
Pruning & Propagation
To trim and stimulate new growth, prune off older leaves that may start turning brown at the base of the stem.
Pet Friendly
Sorry! Mildly toxic if consumed by pets and humans.
