Feature

Bold, architectural, and unmistakably tropical, the White Bird of Paradise brings instant resort vibes to living rooms, foyers, and sunny offices. Large, paddle-shaped leaves unfurl from a clumping base to create a dramatic, jungle-luxe silhouette; in ideal conditions, mature plants may produce striking white-and-indigo “bird” blooms. Tougher than it looks, this statement houseplant thrives in bright light, grows steadily, and pairs beautifully with modern or boho décor.

Placed near a bright window, Bird of Paradise quickly becomes the focal point—adding height, lush texture, and purifying greenery year-round. It’s long-lived with the right care and scales up nicely as your space (and pot) allow, making it a favorite for interior designers and plant lovers alike.

Bird of Paradise Care

Light: Bright, indirect light to several hours of gentle direct sun (east or west window is ideal). Too little light = slow growth and fewer leaves.

Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Soak thoroughly and drain; never let the pot sit in water. Reduce frequency in winter.

Humidity: Average home humidity is fine; it appreciates a boost (40–60%). Occasional misting or a pebble tray helps in dry rooms.

Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix (high-quality potting soil + perlite or bark). Ensure a pot with drainage holes.

Feeding: During spring–summer, fertilize monthly with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer; pause in fall–winter.

Pruning/Cleaning: Remove yellow or torn leaves at the base; wipe dust from leaves to maximize light capture.

Repotting: Every 1–2 years in spring as roots fill the pot. Size up 1–2 inches in diameter.

Pets: Considered toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and children.

Outdoors (warm zones only): Can summer outside in bright shade; bring indoors before temps drop below ~55°F.
