Today I will show you how to divide Bird of Paradise plant and make multiple arrangements after.
Bird of Paradise plants can be divided if:
- you wish to have a few arrangements instead of one;
- your plant outgrew its pot but you do not have a space for a larger pot.
You will learn:
✅ how to divide different size Bird of Paradise plants;
✅ how to use a knife to divide Bird of Paradise plant;
✅ how to prune roots and how much is OK to cut back;
✅ what is the right size pot for repotting divided Bird of Paradise stems;
✅ how to create Bird of Paradise plant arrangements with divided stems.
Read our detailed post about how to divide Bird of Paradise plants here ➡ mycityplants.com/plant-care/h...
EXTRA TIPS:
- The best time to divide your plants is early Spring- early Summer.
- Use fresh soil for repotting.
- Divided and potted plants need to be water more frequently for the first 3 months.
- Plants require more water in dry and hot weather.
- Do not allow the soil to dry out completely.
- Check the soil often to ensure that it stays moist.
- Place plants in the brightest light spot.
- Rotate every time you water to provide an equal light exposure to all sides.
- Mist frequently for refreshment.
- Place humidifier nearby to elevate humidity levels.

I was thinking exactly the same thing as the poster below. My first video and I was truly amazed at how you explain things so succinctly and so to the point. That is as much of an art as your obvious experience with plants. This will not be my last video and am now a happy subscriber indeed from Australia. I have a 30 foot plus white flowered BOP Nicolai spanning 3 storeys high in my backyard and I need to get that back into shape. This video definitely gave me the confidence to to move forward and cut some of the lower stalks and repot them around my home. Thank you once again. :)

I’m so happy I’ve found your channel! I love BOP and large tropical plants - I have question I know you recommend the Lechuza self watering containers but the are pretty expensive when you have a lot of plants - can you suggest another way to get the proper drainage without having to remove the pot out?

@Mycityplants 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! When you say "without removing the pot", do you mean keep the plant in its original nursery pot? Nursery pots have drainage holes. If you are keeping the plant in its nursery pot and place it in a cachepot, make sure it is not seating in a pool of water after watering. Best to take it out of a cachepot, water, drain and then put it back. *** Rather sooner than later the plant needs to be repotted and any pot with a drainage hole will work.

Hi Juliette! Thanks for your very informative video :) I just bought a BoP that's really tall and has 2 plants in the pot. It's spring here in tropical Australia so I want to split it into 2 outdoor plants. Once they're in the ground, can I keep splitting off any new plants in future? I'd prefer to have several smaller ones rather than letting them get too tall/wide. Presumably I can do it with a really sharp spade if I'm careful?

@Mycityplants 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Michael, Repotting can be stressful and leaf curling might be the result of it. Under or over watering, improper lighting may result in leaf curling as well. I strongly recommend getting the Soil Moisture Meter bit.ly/2yuXVpc . This tool will help you to understand when your plant is ready for a drink to avoid over or under watering. Test the soil once every 7 days. Bird Of Paradise plants should be watered when the meter reading is in the 4-5 zone. Put your plant in a bright light area. Best with partial sun exposure of filtered sunlight. Provide a good air circulation. If it is nice and warm in your location, keep windows open or have a fan on.

If all the stems removed, you may cut back your Bird Of Paradise plant: - Use sharp, clean pruning shears amzn.to/3M1lJWg to make a clean cut and avoid damaging the plant. - Clean the tool by spraying it with rubbing alcohol - Prune your bird of paradise during early spring or fall - Cut the plant' main stem back 5"-6" above the ground - Fertilize your bird of paradise to provide nutrients for new growth.

@Mycityplants Жыл бұрын

Hi Anne-Sophie, The Bird Of Paradise grows new leaves from the center of the stem, between the leaves. As it grows new leaves, the plant gets to be not only taller but wider as well. If the plant gets too tall, you may cut back the tallest leaves to keep it at the desired height. Here is the video about how to prune Bird Of Paradise: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kOBzZtB0vsfMpKc.html If you want to have a fuller arrangement, you may pot a few stems together. The plant I am dividing in this video has a few stems potted in one pot. Green Chers & Thank you for watching 🌱

Hi! -Yes, more frequent watering is required for the first month or so. Make sure to use enough water to reach the lower soil levels. ***Best to get Soil Moisture Meter so you can establish a proper watering frequency: mycityplants.com/collections/indoor-plant-tools/products/soil-moisture-meter First month or so water divided stems when the meter reading is in the 5-6 zone, then when the meter reading is in the 4-5 zone. -Put the plant is in a bright light area. Does not have to be under direct sun. *** A few hours of early morning sun will be very beneficial. -Leaves that will not recover, can be removed. Here is how: bit.ly/30JifQZ GREEN LUCK!

Hi, from Lincolnshire England. I have a new Bird of paradise plant. The plant has roots coming out the bottom of the pot. I was told that this helps the plant to flower. Should I delay repotting till it f!owners?

@Mycityplants 2 ай бұрын

Hi! Thank you for watching! The Bird of Paradise plant is often reluctant to bloom indoors because it requires specific environmental conditions to thrive. They need plenty of sunlight, high humidity, and well-draining soil to produce their iconic blooms. Plants may take several years to mature before it starts flowering. Unfortunately, it can be challenging or even impossible to replicate the plant's natural habitat indoors, which can result in a reluctance to bloom. If you have strelitzia reginae - I believe it blooms April to June in your part of the world. If no flowers are produced for you during this period and the roots are poking out, you can repot your Bird of Paradise plant. Cho0se a pot about 5" larger for repotting. These plants grow roots pretty fast. Here in NYC we mostly carry strelitzia nicolai and I have never seen these plants flower in NYC. :) Green Cheers!

Thank you! I just got a few birds of paradise plants for the first time and I'm loving your videos! Question-- I bought a planter that has about 8 different birds of paradise plants in the same planter, it's about 10 years old. I unpotted them to try to separate them but the roots are all completely wrapped around each other. It weighs about 200 lbs. It's beautiful but would like to separate a few so they can have more space to grow bigger. If I cut through a bunch of roots I am so scared to kill it! Have you split any very big ones that have any issues after cutting through the giant roots? I'm so worried about killing her!

Hi! Yes, you my use a sharp knife to cut rots and separate plants. If the roots are strong and healthy, the Bird Of Paradise plant will recover from the shock and grow many new leaves for you! Green Luck & Thank you for watching!

Hi very informative video. I have a bird of paradise growing outside. I live in Florida zone 9. I’ve noticed my bird of paradise leaves curl in the afternoon and unfurl in the evening. Is this normal when growing the plant outside? I make sure I keep it watered. So I don’t know why it curls.

Hi Juliette, my bop has a new leaf sprouting. But it is taking a long time to grow. It's been about a month since it sprouted and has only grown 3 inches. I haven't seen any changes! I had another new leaf sprout and it grew/unfurled rather quickly. Would you happen to know why this one is taking longer? Thanks!

@Mycityplants 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Glad your plant is growing new leaves for you! Lack of nutrients, insufficient light, if you recently repotted it, change of season - may slow the plant down. Thank you for watching 🌱

Hi Juliet! I repotted my BOP 2 months ago because the roots were growing out of its nursery pot. Now when i was peaking in his new home he already outgrew his current inner pot. Do I leave the plant as it is and wait for next year or prune the roots?

@Mycityplants Жыл бұрын

Hi! The Bird Of Paradise plants are fast growers, especially when they are in the right environment, under proper care and during the active growth season (Spring - Summer). If the roots are short now, let them be. Check roots again in February - March and prune back then. May your plant grow happy and healthy! Thank you for watching 🌱

Hi Juliette, thank you for this thorough video. My BoP’s roots have been coming out of its 10 inch nursery pot, so I believe it’s time to divide. I have some hesitation because it’s been pushing out a lot of new leaves this summer. I bought her in September and now she’s taller than me. Being that the plant will go into some shock after dividing, will it also adversely affect the spears that have yet to unfurl? There is also a leaf that has already unfurled but has not completely straightened out. The edge on the left side is still slightly curled. Will it just take longer for the spears to unfurl? Thanks so much.

@Mycityplants 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you for watching 🌱 Now is a good time to divide and repot. Plant will recover, stabilize and acclimate much faster when it is in the active growth period (Sping-Summer). Dividing and repotting will slow down the growth of new leaves but will not effect much the leaves that are already out. Green Luck!

My BoP has only one stem and is about 8 ft tall with 2’ newest leaves in the middle. Is there a way to encourage new stems to add the heartiness instead of increased height?

@Mycityplants 5 ай бұрын

Hi! Thank you for watching. New leaves typically emerge from the center of the stems of the Bird of Paradise plant, making it challenging to achieve a fuller shape. However, a potential solution is to prune the plant back entirely, allowing new leaves to develop and grow from the ground up. This approach can help reshape the plant and encourage a more balanced and fuller appearance.
