In your previous bird of paradise video i noticed your dad has quite a few hibiscus. I have several that i overwinter inside too (living in Minnesota) so I would love any tips on health/care :D

I love bird of paradise! One thing I don't get is the flowering time... here you said that they bloom in fall but when I went to Sicily, Italy, last May, the hotel had bird of paradises blooming in May! They were in the garden and not in pots. When I got home I immediately had to buy one from Ikea. I got the Strelitzia reginae. I have my plant under a 1500 lumens light and so far it has stayed alive here in Finland. When summer comes the plant will take a holiday on my south facing glassed balcony with her closest friends dwarf banana and croton petra. I hope the time will come that the bird of paradise makes flowers...

LOL the expression on your dad was hilarious! Thank you for this informative video. I'm taking in all these research on the plant. I would like to grow them outside. However, it's in direct sun light possibly up to 6 hours.

@KillThisPlant Ай бұрын

You can, as long as youre able to acclimatize them slowly to the new intense lighting. start in a more shaded area. work up to a few hours a day until it is full time.

I think mine will be white and I'm not overly happy about that but I medicated night ordered 4 4 inch ones about 16 months ago lol... They're about 2-2.5 feet tall now. I'm on your dad's team with the miracle gro, only I mix in one bag cactus mix and half a bag miracle gro perlite, then I've got extra perlite I can add depending on the plant as some need less perlite to not be tippy lol The bop roots even on a baby are freaking amazing! I would not want to be trying to dig that out of the ground! I got bored with the soil on top of the bop since they're tall and need a larger pot for those roots, so I tossed a pearls and Jade pothos in as a bit of a ground cover. My thought process was "the bop drinks so freaking much it will be next to impossible to drown the pothos" 🤣 so far so good!

Unpopular opinion, i think the orange variety is not visually appealing. It's a shorter and more bunchy and the color does nothing for me, BUT THE WHITE VARIETY 😍 the plant is much taller and the flowers look so elegant in white.

I just moved my b.o.p to a different spot cause I realized my moms built in wall house fan/air conditioner it was under about 1 foot from, the air it was blowing may been the reason many leaves browned:( I gave it a haircut. I don't think it was a watering effect. As it did great in the summer in the greenhouse Do you know If this a thing? Air blowing on the leaves causing them to shrivel and brown?
