Strelitzia nicolai (160cm+)
Giant White Bird of Paradise
add a pot to fit this plant
Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the Giant White Bird of Paradise, is a magnificent architectural houseplant with enormous banana-like leaves and a bold tropical presence. Its dramatic foliage makes an instant statement, bringing height, structure and a lush jungle feel to large interior spaces.
Native to South Africa, this impressive species can eventually produce striking white and blue bird-like flowers when grown in ideal conditions, although it is primarily grown indoors for its spectacular foliage.
Position in a bright room with plenty of natural light. Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry, reducing watering during the winter months. Keep above 15°C and feed regularly throughout spring and summer to encourage strong, healthy growth.
