🌞 Light Requirements
Bird of Paradise thrives in bright, direct to indirect sunlight. Outdoors, it loves full sun. Indoors, place near a sunny window for healthy growth and potential flowering.
💧 Watering
Water when the top 4–5 cm of soil feels dry. Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season but avoid waterlogging. In winter, reduce watering slightly.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Prefers warm conditions (20–32°C) and moderate humidity. Protect from frost and cold drafts. In drier climates, mist leaves occasionally for freshness.
🌱 Soil & Fertilizer
Plant in a well-draining, nutrient-rich mix with compost, cocopeat, and sand. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a high-phosphorus fertilizer to encourage blooms.
✂️ Care & Maintenance
Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust. Repot every 2–3 years as Bird of Paradise prefers slightly root-bound conditions for better flowering. Cut old flower stalks at the base after they fade.
⚠️ Pet Safety
❌ Not safe for pets – toxic if ingested by cats and dogs.
