I'm definitely not a native English speaker but because your nice pronunciation I understood everything from this video (and this is rarely situation for me). Thank you for great English and plant lessons. Phoebe is absolutely amazing. I'll stay for longer with you 💚
Hi Kamila,
Thank you for your feedback. Means a lot to me.
Glad the video is helpful and clear!
Green Cheers 🌱
I agree !!
I agree too
Me too even my English level is B1
You’re right about them growing fast… I bought one from IKEA like knee high and now 6 months later it’s already taller than me and outgrew it’s pot like 2 times!
Hi Rose,
Amazing, right?
Here is our video about how to prune Bird of Paradise plants (if you want to keep its shape under control 😀)

It's great that you actually show how you repot this beautiful monster
Hi!
Thank you 🌱
Wow, one of the most informative videos for large indoor plan care that I've found. Thank you
Glad it is helpful, and you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching! 🌱
This lady is amazing, the plant whisperer! Immaculate English and a lovely accent too! Thank you for such an informative video 😃
Thank you for your kind words!!! I am happy you like this video. Green Cheers!
Best explanations ever. I’ve learned so much. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi! Glad the video is helpful! Thank you for watching 🌱
I absolutely LOVE your accent! You speak so beautifully and eloquently. Thank you for all of the information!
Hi! Thank you for your kind words. Means a lot!
Green Cheers!
I have one that is 20 years old and I've been limping it along. Taking your advice and tips I'm excited to get her back up in shape, feed and grow it huge. It's already bigger than the one in the video but seems to not have many leaves. Food and proper watering from here on out!
so grateful that your channel popped up when i typed BOP care. New plant parent and today i bought a BOP from Ikea and you are easy to understand clearly how to care for BOP and cannot wait to watch all your videos/advises and learn the secret of being a plant parent. I hope mine will look like Phebe in future. Awesome 🤗

I really like your style. Warm & genuine but not gushy, you don't say "um" over and over, you're concise and informative. You have a new subscriber :) I LOVE Phoebe! She looked amazing before, but now she is stunning!! My BOP was super happy in the beginning, but being under the heater/cooler wall unit has made her grumpy. The question is where else to move her? I got her for that spot- hmm. For now I'll adjust the direction of the fan so it's not blowing directly on her. Thank you!
Hi Christine,
Happy you like our videos!
Changing the direction of the air flow is the right thing to do if you do not have another spot for your Bird Of Paradise plant.
May your plant grow happy and healthy!
Thank you for watching 🌱
She’s a pro. She made everything look so simple and easy
Aww, thank you 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Thank You so much for all your valuable tips on how to take care of my Bird of paradise. I live in New Jersey USA and She was growing so nicely outside for the Summer! As it began to get cold, I brought her inside and placed her too close to a radiator in my corridor!! Her leaves began to curl and dry up. I removed her immediately, I checked soil, and of course it's dry!! Thanks again🙏🏾 hopefully she'll recover soon.
Hi! Thank you for watching and sharing your story.
Plants are survivors and, I am sure, in a better spot and with love and proper care, your Bird of Paradise plant will bounce back and grow new leaves for you.
Green Cheers!
I like the trick with the thick paper in the beginning. I'll remember that one.
😀 Yes makes it easier to handle large plants. Thank you for watching 🌱
Most useful and clear logic plant care video I have seen, high quality as well
Hi!,
This means a lot. Glad the video is helpful!
Thank you for watching 🌱
im a new plant owner and bought some to decorate my work studio space. I have a baby bird of paradise since today!! Thank you so much for this video!!!!! i really enjoyed it. also, kinda random but as someone who loves watching animated movies and i also work in the animation industry, you have a lovely voice and if you werent a plant queen/business owner you could totally be a voice actress!!
Thank you for watching! Voice actress? Sounds cool 😀
May you BOP grow happy and healthy! 🌱
I found a sad little BoP with a "free" sign on it next to a dumpster this spring. Literally just left it outside all summer and kept it watered, looks great now! Been wondering where to go from here though, thanks for the longer format video covering everything.
I know the video is a couple years old now so maybe you've discovered the magic of the tapener by now, but watching the staking/tying segment, I couldn't help but thinking a tapener would've saved you a ton of time.
Hi! Thank you for watching and sharing your green story.
Glad you saved the plant and it is thriving under your care!

I just moved to a bigger flat and can finally have grand plants. Always wanted gargantuan and grandiose looking plant, and the Strelitzia instantly became my favorite one. Can't believe this could grow to such a large size, can't wait to have one like this! Great video, really informative!
HI!
Sounds like a great plan - enjoy this amazing plant.
Thank you for watching 🌱
Beautiful, oh, and phoebe looks amazing too!
I just love everything about this video! You speak so well and so calmly. You also answered so many of the questions I had as a new BOP owner. I just got mine yesterday, can't wait to see her grow as big as Phoebe! I'll be growing her outdoors, hopefully she adjusts really well :D
Hi Melissa,

these are really good tips. I grow these outside here in Houston TX and while they get burned with frosts, they always come back and look gorgeous!
Hi Ivan,
Thanks for sharing . Amazing how resilient plants are! Something we can all learn from them 😀 Thank you for watching 🌱
I loved your video. I've been a plant freak all my life. People (mainly my kids) give me their broken down terrible plants for me to fix. Now I have a son whose partner tries, but just doesn't do the trick, so I'm trying to wrestle it away so I can nurse her back to health. She's got everything bad, so watching your video gave me super good thoughts as to what to do exactly as ive never cared for a bird of paradise plant. Thank you !!
Hello! Thank you for watching!
Glad you found some helpful information here.
Green Luck & May this Bird Of Paradise plant recover and thrive under your TLC !
My birds are healthy but have not grown any new leaves since I bought it a few months ago. I think I rushed too fast and put them in too large of a pot. I recently fed them and added a humidifier will wait and see A friend recommended this video…awesome tips 🥰
Hi! Congrats on your new plant!
Please thank your friend for the recommendation.
Make sure the plant has a good light.
Do not water unless the soil is dry enough.
Get Soil Meter bit.ly/2yuXVpc to test the soil before watering to make sure the plant is ready. Meter reading should be down to zone 4-5 before watering.
Green Luck! 🌱
I just bought my first ever white bird of paradise for $25 from Ikea. It looks so sad. This video may have just helped me save it! Thank you for an informative tutorial and being hands on with your directions.
Hi Dee Dee,
Glad I could help! May your Bird Of Paradise plant recover and thrive!
Thank you for watching 🌱
This is really useful..thank you for sharing..i just got one a baby bird of paradise today, she has only 2 leaves..so i hope she can grow well and i can see flower in the next 3 years :)
Hi!
Congrats!!! So exiting!
Here in NYC, this variety of Bird Of Paradise (Strelitzia Nicolai) does not flower indoors but, even without its gorgeous blooms, the plant is stunning and we love it!
May your plant grow happy and healthy.
Thank you for watching 🌱
Fantastic!!!!! This was the single most helpful video about my BOP. I'm going to do all the things you've mentioned since my plant is just drooping like crazy.

Omg! You’re a natural...lol pun intended...in front of the camera! Effortlessly graceful, concise, enthusiastic, decisive, and charming. I could see you hosting a show on HGTV, etc. Thank you for sharing your passion. I’m a bit of a Y-chromosome doofus when it comes to large tropical plants, but thanks to smart, charismatic folks like you, what was a bit intimidating becomes demystified and accessible. I first saw Birds of Paradise growing wild in Costa Rica. Have always wanted many many of them, and now armed with your advice, I’ll confidently move ahead and grow delightfully happy, healthy plants yaaaaaay! Definitely earned the new subscription! Namasté
Hi!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Means a lot!
Birds of Paradise are amazing and not that hard to care for.
GO GET IT! 😀

Thank you for your very informative video! I got my bird of paradise from A group of office co-workers 2 years ago after my mother died. I've had it in this excellent spot with the indirect light and it has been flourishing! It has grown tremendously and toppled over one time because of the weight of the leaves. I'm glad I found your video on how to put this particular type of plant, I definitely will be needing the stakes for the support.
Hi! Thank you for watching!
I am glad the video is helpful and now you can help your Bird of Paradise plant look better and thrive. Green Cheers!
Thank you, Juliette!! I just repotted my large BOP today (into a Lechuza!) and this video is incredibly helpful!!
Glad it was helpful! Green Luck, and Thank you for watching! 🌱
How did your plant do in the new pot?
The best channel for BOP content. This is my dream plant, I'm trying to figure out, if my place is big enough for it :)
Thank you! Green Luck! 🌱😀
Just get it and let it grow
Thank you for this! Extremely helpful. I need to move a large BofP and the bag trick was super helpful!
Hi! Thank you for your comment. I am glad the video is helpful. Green Cheers & May your Bird Of Paradise grow happy and healthy!
Mine is popping up with a new leaf. And the fact true newest leaves are always the biggest MAKES MY LITTLE HEART SO HAPPY 😭 this will be my first winter with her so I'm really hoping we can keep her alive. With humidity and shear desperation
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for sharing. Sounds like your plant is very happy under your care! To help your plant to go through the winter, get a humidifier.
It is very good for your skin as well :)
Green Luck, and thank you for watching! 🌱
Loved your tuition video .My daughter bought me Bird of Paradise plant for mother's day. I live in the UK. Thank you
Hi! What a great gift!
Thank you for watching and May your Bird Of Paradise plant grow happy and healthy!
I just bought a bird of paradise plant, one of 10 dying plants, from someone on fb marketplace. It was a mercy mission lol. I love a challenge. I didn't even know what type of plant it was or how to take care of it so l'm now learning all l can so l can get it to it's full potential. It currently has 2 leaves and one is hunched sideways quite a bit so l will look into straightening it and giving it some support. Thank you so much for all this info, l feel a little more confident now.

Beautiful transformation Juliette, without your help Phoebe would have needed to move into her own apartment soon. What are the best propagation methods, will cuttings root?
Hi Robert,
😀😀😀
If you have multiple stems, you can separate them and pot each in an individual pot. Pruning roots is ok! The plant will go into shock after pruning/repotting but will recover and stabilize.
When pruning roots (if needed) make sure to use sharp tools and clean with rubbing alcohol before using.
Green Luck, and thank you for watching! 🌱
Excellent video. I had a big BOP plant and experienced everything that you talked about throughout the plant's life. Eventually my BOP got too big for our apartment and we donated it to our high-rise building, where it lived for some time until it died from cold temperatures due to an HVAC winter problem. I am always tempted to get another BOP. I will name it this time, if I do.😁
Hi Arne,
Thank you for sharing the story about your Bird of Paradise. 🌱
What name do you think the new plant will get?
@@Mycityplants Dauphin, because BOPs always remind me of beautiful white sandy beaches with crystal clear ocean waters.
This is a very pretty name for a Bird of Paradise 🌱🌱🌱
Hope you get it soon. Green Cheers!
Русская, сразу видно, четко каждое слово проговаривается. Отличный ролик. 👍

Should I use the spray leaf shine?
I just love my bird of paradise! Her name is Corinado. We saw so many on Corinado Island. She is so happy in our large upstairs bathroom. The window is almost floor to ceiling. This window is abscure glass. Lots of humidity and I can give her a shower every 3 months. I really appreciate you showing the trimming the edges. I will do this today. What a great video. Her pot size must be perfect. I am going to watch this video again and your others. I need to get a soil monitor today. Again great video Thank you 😊
Hi!
You may use the leaf shine spray once in a while. I do not recommend to use it often.
Sounds like your Bird Of Paradise plant is in the perfect spot and well taken care of. 👏
May your plant grow happy and healthy!
Green Cheers & Thank you for watching 🪴

Hi! :))))
Thank you for watching!!! May your plants grow happy and healthy!
I live in south florida and I can get these plants for five dollars at Wal-Mart. I was at Lowes and they had bigger ones on the clearance table for $7 . I also found one with Variegated leaves. I probably could get a lot of money for it if I was greedy
Wow! Lots of good deals in your hood 👍🌱
$5 - what!? I just paid $150 for a small one in New Zealand
Wow, that's so cheap
Not in Midwest we paid for $14.99 to $20 it’s depending the size.
You should buy some and sell them online. I'd buy from you 😅
I’m having the issue with the leaves not entirely opening so I appreciate the tips and will get right to it after work today!
Also, I had mine out in full sun last summer and the leave’s curled up! I couldn’t understand it bc I’m used to seeing these plants around in PR with no issues under full sun, but the watering makes sense so I will keep an eye on that this Summer, ty!
Hi Myriam,
Thank you for watching 🌱
1. Bird of Paradise plants that spend winter indoors are not as hardy compared to plants that grow outdoors all year around.
When moving your plant outdoors for the summer, it is best to place it in a shady location outside first for a few days, then move the plant to a partially sunny location for a few weeks before finally settling it under a full sun exposure.
*** I would recommend to keep your Bird Of Paradise in a partially sunny or shady location during summer times.
2. Leaves might not fully open if the plant is not getting enough light, if it is root-bound, over or under watered, lacks nutrients or due to low humidity.
*** You may also take a moist soft cloth and wipe an unopened leaf with it to help it to unfurl.
Green Cheers and May your plant grow happy and healthy!
OHMYGOD!! Obsessed!!!! Phoebe grew SO big!!! This video was so helpful!! Can you do one like this for Monsteras?
Hi! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching 🪴
* Monstera is on our list now :)
"our fingers are not long enough to go deep enough". message came through😅
20:22 I found that the leaves will unfold better when wet. Use misting on the sticky edge of the outer leaf. The effect is almost instant.
I had one leaf tear apart when unfolding and found that the edge of the outer leaf was too sticky, I had to pry it with a finger to allow it to unfold. That made me think: what if, when in nature, the rain is supposed to help soften the "glue" and I sprayed it with mist and it almost instantly loosened. The next leaf that I sprinkled right away is completely undamaged.
Great move! You are right! I sometimes wrap a leaf of Bird Of Paradise plant that is stock or partially ripped in wet paper towel for a bit to help it to unfold.
You may find more information about BOP in my post where I cover all aspects of how to care for this amazing plant: mycityplants.com/plant-care/bird-of-paradise-care/
Green Cheers!
my poor BOP has been in a North Facing apt for the last year (I know better now). My large grow light has kept her healthy but with little to no growth. I'm so excited to be moving into a West facing apartment and am hoping she will one day be on Pheobe's level. Thanks for the tips. This is so helpful for newer plant moms like me.
Green Luck! Remember to rotate your plant often to provide equal light exposure to all sides + avoid leaf burn when exposed to direct sunlight 🌱
Also, watering frequency will be much higher once the plant is placed in the bright light space 🌞
@@Mycityplants thank you so much 🤗
🌱🌱🌱
Fabulous tutorial! Thank you!
THANK YOU!
Your plants are gorgeous!! I love it!! Soooo beautiful! I have to report my poor BOP because they are leaning.
Hi! Thank you!

First of all, I appreciate how you answer all of the comments. Second, I know this is a dumb question, but when adding a humidifier, do you use cold or warm mist?
Hi! Thank you for your kind words.
Both types of humidifiers are suitable for plants, and the choice between warm and cool mist comes down to personal preference.
*** Cool mist humidifiers are more electrically efficient and can help keep your electric bill down :)

Hi Nadia,
Thank you for your kind words and for watching our videos.
May your Bird Of Paradise plant grow happy and healthy! 🌱🌱🌱
I just adopted a bird of paradise from someone who couldn’t take care of her and she is SO weak in the stems, some of them are even bent in half and blackened at the creased point. Definitely going to try to get some plant stakes, new pot and wipe her down tomorrow. If the stems are damaged from being bent do you recommend pruning those, or supporting them? The leaves don’t look bad on some of them. Others are browned and died towards the bottom. She is going to be a pet project for sure
Hi! Thank you for watching our videos! Seems like you are doing everything right! Repot, prune, steak up + feed some nutrients!
I hope your Bird Of Paradise plant will stabilize and grow many new leaves for you!
Green Luck and keep me posted!
Wonderful info... am going to give my two a birthday!! thanks Juliette :)
Have fun! Thank you for watching! 🌱
