Bird of Paradise

When it comes to proper care, the Bird of Paradise does best in well-drained soil and in an area that receives full sun in coastal gardens and light afternoon shade in hotter inland areas. 

Water regularly and deeply for a few years to establish roots then reduce frequency and water as needed depending on environmental conditions. Strelitzia reginae is moderately drought tolerant but looks better with regular water. 

Bird of Paradise grows best in loam soil but is very adaptable to multiple soil types. Apply fertilize in early spring before the new growth emerges. Prune to remove spent flowers and dead leaves as needed. 

With the right care and maintenance, the Bird of Paradise can be a stunning addition to any outdoor space. It is a low-maintenance plant that is sure to add a unique and vibrant look to any landscape.
