Caring for Your Bird of Paradise Plant

Once you've selected the best bird of paradise plant NZ for sale, planting and care are straightforward. Position your plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-draining soil. Water regularly during the growing season, but allow the soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring and summer to encourage lush growth and prolific flowering.

Most bird of paradise plants thrive outdoors in northern and coastal regions of New Zealand, but they can also be grown indoors in large pots if given plenty of light. Protect from heavy frost, and trim away spent flower spikes to keep your plant looking its best.
