Family: Strelitziaceae
Common Names: Bird of Paradise, Crane Flower, Bird's Tongue Flower
Plant Type: Tropical flowering perennial
Best For: Bright rooms, sunny windows and statement containers
Pet Friendly: No, toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.*
Available Size: 4" nursery pots
Bird of Paradise is a striking tropical plant known for its large, upright leaves and distinctive orange-and-blue flowers. Its bold foliage creates a lush architectural look even when the plant isn't in bloom, making it a beautiful statement plant for bright indoor spaces.
Native to South Africa, Strelitzia reginae grows as a clump-forming perennial from underground rhizomes. Mature plants can produce their famous bird-like flowers when given abundant light and suitable growing conditions, although indoor plants may take several years to reach flowering maturity.
Light: Bright light; a sunny window is ideal.
Water: Allow the upper soil to dry slightly between watering. Reduce watering during winter.
Temperature: Prefers 18°C–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well to typical household conditions.
Bloom: Mature plants may produce orange-and-blue flowers, though flowering indoors is uncommon.
Growth: Upright and clump-forming with large, broad leaves.
Maintenance: Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and remove damaged or yellowing foliage as needed.
Plant appearance, bloom colour and size may vary.
Each plant is a living specimen and naturally unique.
* Bird of Paradise is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It generally causes mild gastrointestinal effects such as nausea and vomiting, along with possible drowsiness, particularly from the fruit and seeds. Contact your veterinarian if ingestion occurs.
