  • Why we like this plant

    Strelitzia nicolai is perfect for plant lovers looking to make a bold, tropical statement indoors. Its dramatic size and structure elevate any room, making it ideal for spacious living areas or conservatories.

  • About this plant

    Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the Giant White Bird of Paradise, is a dramatic and fast-growing tropical plant with large, glossy green leaves that resemble those of a banana plant. Native to South Africa, it can grow several metres tall indoors under the right conditions, creating a striking focal point with its upright, fan-like foliage.

Care tips

Place in bright, indirect light with some direct sun if possible. Water thoroughly when the top few centimetres of soil are dry, and reduce watering in winter. Clean leaves regularly to keep them dust-free and support healthy growth. Feed monthly with a balanced fertiliser in spring and summer. Rotate periodically for even growth.
