Care for Strelitzia reginae
The bird of paradise plant stands out for its sturdy, wide leaves on long stalks. Three stems at a height of 130 cm will create a striking green accent by a bright window. The species is known for its orange-blue flowers resembling a bird of paradise; however, indoor blooming requires plenty of light and a mature plant and is not guaranteed.
Watering
When to water: Water after the top few centimeters of the substrate have dried out. Reduce watering in winter during slower growth.
Beware of overwatering: Pour out any excess water from the decorative pot or saucer. The roots must not sit in water for long periods.
Water: Use room temperature water.

Direct sun: Acclimate the plant to a sunny location gradually to prevent leaf burn.
