The Giant white bird of paradise can grow as big as a tree indoors

The large green leaves look tropical even though the plant comes from southern Africa where it is very dry. It can bloom with white flowers that resemble birds, which gave rise to the name. Strelizia is easy to care for and over time it develops a tree-like stem that carries the long leaves.

Botanical description.

This species is native to eastern Zimbabwe, eastern Botswana and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It grows naturally in warm climates and is often found in savanna-like or lightly shaded environments.

Care.

The parrot flower prefers bright light and can be accustomed to direct sun. It does not thrive in cold weather and should therefore be placed in sheltered locations during the summer when the temperature is above 10 degrees 24 hours a day. Water the giant white bird of paradise thoroughly during warm months but let the soil surface dry between waterings. Buy white parrot flower online!
