White Bird of Paradise

Strelitzia nicolai

$112.00Includes Earthen Matte Ceramic (+$24)

Stately and bold, the White Bird of Paradise commands admiration with its towering silhouette and large paddle foliage. As it grows, natural splits appear along the leaf ribs—a biological adaptation allowing breezes to pass through without snapping the foliage.

Plant Care & Lighting Science

Every White Bird of Paradise shipped by Ferny's is acclimated in filtered glasshouses. When positioned in bright indirect, it transpires moisture cleanly without scorching leaf margins. Keep 3 to 6 feet away from unshaded South/West windows.

Substrate, Drainage & Moisture Rhythm

Root rot occurs when water stagnates in un-aerated soils. Our potting configurations use porous chunky bark and perlite blends with custom drainage reservoirs. Always check the top 2 inches with your finger before soaking: Every 7 days when top 2 inches dry.

Greenhouse Direct & 30-Day Guarantee

Unlike warehouse middlemen who store foliage in dark fulfillment centers, Ferny's packs each living plant directly inside the nursery. Thermal root insulation protects against weather spikes in transit, guaranteed healthy for 30 full days.
