Bird of Paradise Care Guide

A bold, tropical statement plant with large, architectural leaves that instantly elevate any space. With the right light and a simple routine, it becomes one of the most rewarding indoor plants.

💡 Light

• Needs bright, indirect light to thrive.
• Can handle direct morning sun.
• Avoid harsh afternoon sun in Cairo summers (it can scorch).
• Low light = slow growth and no new leaves.

💧 Water

• Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil dries.
• Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy.
• Reduce frequency in winter.
• Always empty excess water from plates or covers.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Loves warm rooms (18–30°C).
• Handles Cairo weather well indoors.
• Enjoys humidity — mist occasionally or place near other plants for a natural microclimate.

🪴 Soil & Repotting

• Prefers a rich, airy, well-draining mix.
• Repot every 1–2 years as it grows fast and likes space for its strong roots.
• Choose a heavy pot to keep it stable as leaves fan out.

🌱 Fertilizing

• Feed every 2–3 weeks in growing season using Bozor’s plant food, vital drops, or bloom drops.
• Pause fertilizing during winter.

✨ Styling & Placement

• Perfect for living rooms, offices, entrances, and bright corners.
• Rotate monthly for even growth.
• Wipe leaves with Canopy Mist or a soft cloth to keep them glossy.

⚠️ Common Notes

• Brown leaf edges? Usually low humidity or inconsistent watering.
• Split leaves are normal — it’s how the plant protects itself from wind.
