Did you know...?
A bird of paradise or crane plant will inject instant tropical vibes to any room. Its flowers resemble a bird in flight and have made this plant a symbol of joy, freedom and paradise.
Strelitzia enjoy the South African sunshine in their natural habitat so they are most certainly a sun worshipper but you'll be pleased to know they can tolerate shadier spots too.
Keep the soil moist during the growing season but let the soil dry out during the winter months. Adding plant food into your watering schedule will encourage flowering. Not guaranteed but if your plant is happy and mature, you might be treated one day.
