 Plant Care Guide

• Light: Thrives in bright, direct or very bright indirect light. The more light it gets, the better chance it has to flower indoors.

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season (spring/summer). Allow the top 1–2 inches to dry out in cooler months.

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier in dry indoor climates.

• Temperature: Enjoys warmth—ideal range is 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from frost and cold drafts.

• Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix. A blend for tropicals or a mix of potting soil, perlite, and compost works well.

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic to pets if ingested.

Whether you're chasing tropical vibes or want a bold focal point for your home, the Bird of Paradise delivers both lush foliage and eye-catching drama. With the right care and enough light, it can reward you with its iconic flowers—even indoors!
