Why Choose Tree Fertiliser as Your Bird of Paradise Fertilizer?

Bird of paradise plants have unique nutritional needs. Their broad, glossy leaves and energy-intensive blooms need a steady supply of essential nutrients. Tree Fertiliser is carefully formulated to provide an ideal balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, along with trace elements crucial for healthy growth and flower development.

Tree Fertiliser is also slow-release, so it feeds your bird of paradise gradually without the risk of burning roots. This means less work for you and a happier plant all season long. For gardeners who prefer a natural approach, pairing your fertilising routine with Organic Fertiliser (Organic Fertiliser) can help boost soil health and microbiome activity under and around your birds of paradise.

How to Apply Bird of Paradise Fertilizer

Apply Tree Fertiliser in early spring to jump-start your plant’s growing season. Sprinkle the recommended amount around the base of your bird of paradise, gently working it into the upper soil layer. Water thoroughly to activate the nutrients. For potted specimens, try using 8.5 Litre Pressure Formed Plant Pots or Wide Oslo Planter for optimal drainage and root growth, ensuring the fertilizer is distributed evenly.

For best results, apply fertiliser again in mid-summer, when bird of paradise growth and flowering peaks. Avoid fertilizing in winter, as the plant naturally slows down and cannot use the extra nutrients.
