Bird of Paradise
Strelitzia reginae
Common Name: Bird of Paradise
A delightfully easy-care plant, the Bird of Paradise has large, upright, grey-green paddle-shaped leaves and when they are happiest in high light, they will produce orange, red, and blue flowers that resemble a bird flying.
Try to stick to a regular watering schedule, giving your plant a big drink once the top 2in of soil has dried out. Intolerant to sitting in a puddle of their own water, so empty saucers and provide well-draining soil.
Provide vast amounts of light, even some direct morning sunlight. A sunny window or patio is ideal, but avoid chilly drafts – they resent temperatures below 50 degrees F.
An extra tip:
- While a slow grower above soil, roots grow fast and strong so consider repotting them at the start of spring for growing season.

Welcome to The Plant Firm
The Plant Firm was created during the lockdown of 2020 as a fun project to give me something to do. It quickly became a much larger endeavor and one that I knew needed more attention to be done right. We started The Plant Firm because great plants shouldn't cost a fortune or require a trip across town. Every plant we carry is hand-selected for quality and delivered right to your door. Locally rooted in Raleigh, NC.
