Giant White Bird of Paradise Pruning and Propagating an Offshoot to Grow Another Strelitzia Nicolai
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The Giant Bird of Paradise also known as the White Bird of Paradise is a large beautiful tropical plant that grows huge banana type leaves. My Giant Bird of Paradise suffered a little bit of frost damage and I need to prune the older brown leaves to keep it looking beautiful. I also propagate an offshoot to grow another plant.
The plant's scientific name is Strelitzia Nicolai. It is not the Orange Bird of Paradise. This plant grows a white and dark purple flower, not an orange flower. The plant was easy to prune using a pruning saw. It only takes a few minutes to cut off the damaged leaves.
Propagating an offshoot on the Giant Bird of Paradise was a different story. Cutting through the rhizome was tough with the pruning saw. I had to go back and forth using my shovel and pruning saw to finally separate the offshoot from the mother plant. I divided the offshoot with a bit of the rhizome and potted it up to keep in my greenhouse.
After two months in the greenhouse, it still hadn't grown any roots. It is spring now, so I decided to plant it in my tropical garden. I expect it to grow since part of the rhizome is still attached to the plant. I hope it grows in my tropical garden this summer.

Thanks this was the only video I found where someone does it outside dividing one from the ground instead of in a pot. I have 2 enormous white bird of paradises have at least six big flowering stems each that are taller than a two storey house. It has loads of small offshoots and just wanted to see how to do it. They’re so big that if it doesn’t work it won’t matter. They’ll probably be cut down soon because they’re too big and dangerous so I’ll try to get some propagated before they’re cut down. The flowers on it are humongous. But I just like the leaves
Since your plant is so big I would use a reciprocating saw instead of a pruning saw. The rhizome on your plant might be so large and tough a powered tool would make the job a lot easier.
Thank you for this video 😊
You’re welcome! ❤️🌴🌱
GREAT VIDEOTHANK YOU BEST REGARDS
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
It truly is hard to cut away and I haven’t had any success doing this but I’m going to try it again cutting towards the large one like you did. I’ve got too many growing in the same spot and would love to put some in other areas before they’re too big. ( a few are over 12 feet high!) thank you!
Wow, 12 feet tall! Have they flowered? It is the toughest rhizome that I have had to cut through. I have another to propagate, this time I'm going to use a reciprocating saw. I've used it to divide large banana corms. I just need to find a long enough extension cord to reach my garden.
@@Tropifornia yes! They weren’t as pretty as the smaller orange ones but still really 😎
Great video!
Thank you, it’s a beautiful plant!
I don’t think the one I have will grow I don’t see any part of the rhizome it’s just a leaf I don’t think it will grow
If it’s just a leaf it won’t grow, it needs part of the rhizome or roots to grow.
.Great video ! 🌿😊🌿 Plants are the best, specially the people behind them 🌿🤩🌿 You got a new sub from Denmark .☀️🌿😊🇩🇰..
Thank you, I appreciate it. You have a beautiful collection of plants!
Good job 👍. One plant more 😍💪. Best regards 🙏 ☀️ 🌴
I always love adding more free plants to my garden 😃
Have you been able to see if it survived yet? Would be very interesting to know. Thanks!
I had to go through my videos to figure out where I planted it. It's alive! It still has that one leaf, it doesn't look much bigger. There's another leaf emerging that's only a few inches tall. I might dig it up, now I know where it is, to put it in my greenhouse for the winter again. I propagated it back in the winter so it's survived many months with that little bit of rhizome.
@@Tropifornia Awesome! Well, they are slow growers, so perk that its still alive even if it does 't have much new growth! Very cool!
I've had a hard time finding out how to cut a baby from a giant BOP to replant in another location. What do you recommend? Thanks!
The rhizome is very tough to cut through, I now use a reciprocating saw instead of a pruning saw.

Can you cut the trunk/stem to half the size to help them grow? Mine were hit by the freeze and are 10’ to 20’ tall, new growth keeps dying
Mine aren’t that tall, this video may be more helpful for you m.ruclips.net/video/6Hm-WKKpIGg/видео.html
When he cut it in half, I don’t know if it will grow from the cut part. My guess is that it wouldn’t.
I transplanted my BoP from pot to ground today. :)
Did you keep one in the house? it would be interesting to see if one grows faster than the other.
@@Tropifornia i have a total of 3 BoP. Two in pots but outside and one in ground. Don’t have any indoors
Did it survive?😊
It was still alive in the spring, but I haven’t seen it in a couple of months because the canna lilies have overgrown everything.
@@Tropifornia Is it still alive?
It’s still alive somehow. It grew a new leaf in the summer. I dug it up before winter to put it in my greenhose. There were no roots. I put it in sphagnum moss in a vase to see if it would grow roots, it didn’t after about 5 months. The new leaf died but the original leaf is still alive. I’m just going to plant it in the garden again soon.
@@Tropifornia Do you have a travelers palm too?
I wish I could grow a travelers palm, but it’s too cold for me to grow it in my zone.
