light
Grow in bright to bright, indirect light indoors and bright, filtered light or morning sun outdoors in the spring and summer months. Direct sun may burn the leaves.
soil
Plant in a well-draining, all purpose potting soil rich in organic matter.
water
Keep consistently moist, but not water-logged during periods of active growth. In fall and winter, let soil dry slightly between waterings to avoid root rot. BOPS love humidity. Increase humidity by adding a humidifier.
fertilizer
Fertilize weekly with an all purpose, indoor plant fertilizer during periods of active growth.
tips and troubleshooting
Bird of Paradise don’t normally bloom when grown indoors unless conditions are perfect. Wipe foliage with damp cloth to keep them clean. Inspect both sides of leaves each time you water for signs of insect populations.
