🦜 Strelitzia reginae – The Bird of Paradise That Steals the Spotlight

Known to many as the Bird of Paradise, the Strelitzia reginae is a true icon in the world of houseplants. Its dramatic, upright foliage and dazzling flowers give it a bold, almost exotic energy—perfect for those who want to bring a slice of the tropics indoors.

🍃 The leaves are large, paddle-shaped, and deep green, forming a lush, upright clump that instantly adds a tropical, structured elegance to any room. Even without flowers, the plant holds its own as a sculptural, living accent piece.

🌸 When it blooms—often in late winter through spring, especially in bright, sunlit spaces—the Strelitzia reginae puts on an unforgettable display: vivid orange and deep blue petals emerge from a boat-shaped bract, creating a bloom that truly resembles a bird in flight. It’s a rare spectacle indoors but a rewarding one for patient plant lovers.

📏 Bought at 80 cm in height, this plant already makes an impression—but given time and the right conditions, it can grow taller and fuller, offering a striking presence in any bright corner of your home.

💧 Bright, indirect light is ideal, but it can also handle some direct sun. Water regularly, allowing the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season, it benefits from a little extra humidity and a monthly feeding to support healthy growth and the possibility of flowering.

⚠️ Notes:

• ⚠️ Mildly toxic if ingested by pets or children—place with care.
  

• 🌸 Blooms are not guaranteed indoors, but mature plants in sunny spots may reward you.
  

• 🌿 A great plant for confident beginners and enthusiasts alike.
  

• 🧡 Adds architectural charm and a splash of bold colour when in bloom.
  

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 80 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 24 cm.
