Planting & Care
1. Planting: Incorporate topsoil or organic peat humus into the planting hole. Consider supplementing with composted cow manure for added nutrients to promote healthy growth. This plant thrives best in full to partial sun.
2. Watering: Water your plant monthly using distilled water, applying approximately 16 ounces (473 ml) per session with a spray bottle, watering can, drainage hole, or measuring cup to prevent mineral buildup and browning of leaves.
FGT Tip: Browning along the leaf edges can be from chemicals in tap water. If you notice browning leaves, switch to filtered water, or let your water sit out overnight before watering your Bird of Paradise.
3. Fertilizing: Apply a high-quality granular fertilizer three times annually: in spring, summer, and fall.
4. Pruning: Trim off old leaves and stems as needed to promote future growth.
