Description
Giant Bird of Paradise — Product Introduction
Strelitzia nicolai, commonly called Giant Bird of Paradise, is grown indoors for its tall upright form and broad, banana-like leaves. At approximately 170cm, it brings strong tropical structure to larger rooms without relying on flowers for impact.
| Plant Height | Approx. 170cm, large plant |
| Placement | Bright living rooms, offices, entrances and reception areas |
| Care Level | Moderate — needs bright light and room to grow |
| Light | Bright, indirect light; acclimatise gradually before stronger direct sun |
| Watering | Water when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry, then drain thoroughly |
- Broad tropical leaves create immediate visual impact
- Approx. 170cm height adds useful scale to larger interiors
- Upright growth works well beside windows and in open corners
Give it plenty of bright light and rotate the pot regularly for balanced growth. Water when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry, then let excess water drain fully. Wipe the broad leaves occasionally to remove dust and reduce watering during cooler, slower-growing periods.
Giant Bird of Paradise — Frequently Asked Questions
Check the soil rather than watering on a fixed schedule. Water thoroughly when the top 2–3cm feels dry, allow excess water to drain and extend the interval during cooler, slower-growing periods.
Place it close to a bright window. Bright indirect light is the safest starting point; gentle direct sun can be introduced gradually, but a sudden move into strong afternoon sun may scorch leaves.
This plant is approximately 170cm tall. Its upright form suits a bright living-room corner, office, entrance or reception area with enough clearance for its broad leaves.
It is manageable for an attentive beginner, but it needs brighter light and more space than many easy-care plants. Use a draining pot, let the soil surface dry slightly before watering and rotate the plant for even growth.
Rarely. Bright indirect light beside a window keeps the foliage healthy, but flowering needs at least four to six hours of direct sun a day, so it is far more likely on a sunny balcony or terrace.
It ships in its original nursery pot; decorative planters are available as an add-on. Delivery to your door across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories takes 3–7 working days after ordering; outlying islands and restricted areas are quoted separately.
