Growing Bird of Paradise in New Zealand

To get the most out of your bird of paradise plant for sale NZ, choose a sunny, sheltered position and ensure the soil is free-draining. While tolerant of coastal conditions and wind, these plants thrive best in mild climates. Water regularly during the growing season, but allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings, especially in winter. Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring and summer to encourage prolific blooms.
