Bird of Paradise: The Statement Maker With Big Jungle Energy

Category: Plants for Every Space

Want a plant that feels like a vacation? Enter the Bird of Paradise. With massive, paddle-shaped leaves and serious drama, this plant brings instant tropical vibes. It’s big, bold, and surprisingly easygoing once you get the care right—just give it light, love, and room to grow.

Why You’ll Love It

• Huge, glossy leaves = major visual impact

• Thrives indoors and grows tall over time

• Loves bright light, making it perfect for sunny rooms

• Feels like having a piece of the tropics right at home

Care Tips

Light: Needs bright, indirect light to thrive. Can handle some direct sun, especially in the morning.
Water: Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. It likes consistent moisture but never soggy roots.
Humidity: Loves humidity! Mist it, use a humidifier, or place it in naturally steamy rooms.
Soil: Needs rich, well-draining soil. Our Signature Grow Mix gives the roots the ideal balance of moisture and airflow.

Propagation Magic

Bird of Paradise is best propagated by division. Separate the rhizomes during repotting, then plant in fresh soil with a little Root Boost to help ease the transition and promote strong new growth.

Root Tip

Leaves tearing down the middle? Totally normal—it happens in nature too! If you're not into the wild look, rotate the plant and give it space from walls or foot traffic.
