One of the most popular and sought-after house plants, it's easy to see why Birds of Paradise are a house plant lover's dream.
Being able to grow to an absolutely whopping 20ft in the wild, grown indoors they will typically get to a still very respectable 8ft. With large dramatic leaves, each new leaf will come out of the centre of the plant, giving you an exciting new process you can clearly see as your plant develops.
This tropical plant does require some looking after, but is completely worth it for the plant mad among you.
Notes
Ideally wants a spot with lots of bright indirect light, with some direct morning or evening light
Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry between waterings
Likes high humidity Mist regularly
Fertilise once a month in spring and summer
The splits in leaves are natural and older leaves will develop more over time
Just what I was looking for. The coir moss pole gives my monstera some much-needed support and allows it to grow upwards. I've had the pole for two weeks and the plant is already looking much happier. Thanks!
Had to grab this one as the pastel green was so pretty. There is a water resivour at the bottom to stop plants sitting in water so its perfect for orchids but at the moment I'm using it for another plant.
