Characteristics

The Strelitzia nicolai, also known as the White Bird of Paradise or Giant Bird of Paradise, is a truly magnificent plant that brings a touch of the tropics indoors or graces landscapes in warm climates. Unlike the vibrant orange and blue of the Bird of Paradise, the Strelitzia nicolai boasts a more elegant color scheme. The flower has a dark purplish-black bract that opens to reveal a white or faintly pink crown (sepals) and a contrasting blue "tongue" formed by the petals.

How to Care for White Bird of Paradise

  • Light: Thrives in full size to partial shade. Indoors, place it near a south facing window for optimal light.
  • Water Preferences: Water deeply when the top inch of soil dries out. Avoid overwatering, but ensure consistent moisture during the growing season.
  • Special Care/Notes: While tolerates average household humidity, it appreciates occasional misting, especially in dry climates.
