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 💚
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 😀) bit.ly/30JifQZ May your plant grow happy and healthy! 🌱
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!
Thank you for this! I've watched a lot of 'plant people' on RUclips and this video was the most straightforwardly informative while also being engaging. I just subscribed and I look forward to learning a lot from you.
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!
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!!
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 !
We bought one of these plants today 25th October 2024... thank you for your helpful information... I started to buy indoor plants this August and have quite a number now .. I've been on a fast learning curve and you have given me good solid advice regards our today's purchase ... the plant stands at my shoulder height and I can only imagine how it will look over the next few years .. I'm not new to plants as I have a garden full of roses and herbaceous planting but indoor plants are ... once again thank you .. and your plant is a beauty. ...
Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm thrilled to hear that you're expanding your plant collection and finding success with your indoor plants. It sounds like you have a beautiful garden outside as well! I'm glad the information has been helpful to you. Green Cheers & Enjoy your plant journey!
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.
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 🤗

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
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.
This was such a helpful video. Thank you for giving specific tips on the care techniques and how to diagnose why your plant may be unhappy. Your video showcases that you are an excellent gardener and a very good educator. Liked, followed, and saved this video.
Best Bird of Paradise video I have come across so far … and I’ve seen 😳 a few by now. The water meter/tester, I felt, was a pretty important tip. Thank you! 😌♥️✨👍🏽✨🇨🇦
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!
Hi! Thank you for watching! Wow! 20 years! Amazing! Make sure your Bird of Paradise plant is in a specious enough pot so its roots are happy and strong to produce new leaves for you. YES to proper watering and feeding! Green Cheers!
Your videos are amazing! Providing lots of detailed information and instruction making nice and easy to follow. Extremely Informative and helpful. Thank you.
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.

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.

🙋🏾♀️Hi Juliette! I only have one Bird of Paradise and it's doing Fantastic mostly because when you post about Bird of Paradise I follow your instructions to the letter!! Thanks!🍃🌱🌿💚💚
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! 🌱
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, I’m new subscriber and live in UK! And I’ve just bought my first ever bird of paradise baby plant and also just learned about house plants. This video is really help me a lots! Thank you and can’t wait to watch more of your videos ❤
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.
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 🪴
Great to have found you channel Julia! Could have saved me a lot of time and effort, if I had seen your fantastic video before. Season's greetings from Paris!
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! 🌱
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! 🌱
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!
Just bought a big BOP so found your channel, it’s my favorite plant and want to learn more. I just want to say that love the way you talk, already a big fan of your channel!
Hi Laura, The Bird of Paradise plants will never flower in NYC - not the right climate. :( In Florida, for example, these plants flower in pots on in ground 😀 Thank you for watching 🌱
Hi Melissa, Thank you for watching 🌱 Glad you got some information and tips from our video. List your questions here. I am sure I or our viewers can help with the questions you have.
I thank you for your advice . I have my Bop for 6 yrs and the leaves grow one every ten months. This is a rescued plant and we are pleased that it is thriving. Please let me know what to do since the leaves are touching the ceiling iam unable to unfold the tips.
Hello Krishna, Thank you for watching out videos! Happy to hear that your rescued Bird of Paradise plant is growing under your care!! Here are a few reasons why leaves might not open + tips LIGHT: Make sure your plant gets a good amount of light. HUMIDITY: If you have a low humidity in your space, place a humidifier nearby to raise it up. You may also mist leaves daily to help them to open up. NUTRIENTS: The plant might need some nutrients. The best time to feed your plant is March-September. Here is my video about when and how to fertilize houseplants: bit.ly/3teZEaw ROTATE: Rotate frequently to provide and equal light exposure to all sides. POT: The plant might need a bigger pot. When repotting, select a pot that is 3-5" larger (wider and deeper) than the original pot. PRUNING: If the plant is getting too tall, you may prune it back to keep it at the desired height. Here is how: bit.ly/30JifQZ Green Luck & May your plant grow happy and healthy! 🌱
I always wanted to have one of these but never knew exactly how to care for it. Now I definitely consider buying one from my koi green house. Thanks for all the informations about BOP.
Hi Anna, Glad the video is helpful and you feel more confident. Go for it! Treat yourself and get a Bird of Paradise Plant! Green Cheers! Thank you for watching 🌱
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 🌞

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've watched a ton of plant videos, even the viral ones, they don't compare to this one. Thank you
Thank you for your kind words and for watching! Green Cheers! 🌱
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!
Great video as always! I love that you show us when to water based on the moisture meter levels in your videos! So helpful!

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 🪴

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! 🌱

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for watching! Green Cheers!
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!
Just bought a big BOP so found your channel, it’s my favorite plant and want to learn more. I just want to say that love the way you talk, already a big fan of your channel!

Thank you for sharing with us! 💞
I'd like to hear if BOP will ever get flowers while growing in the pot?
Hi Laura,
The Bird of Paradise plants will never flower in NYC - not the right climate. :(
In Florida, for example, these plants flower in pots on in ground 😀
Thank you for watching 🌱
I’m so glad I came across one of your videos while searching for info on birds of paradise. I still have so many questions though.

I thank you for your advice . I have my Bop for 6 yrs and the leaves grow one every ten months. This is a rescued plant and we are pleased that it is thriving. Please let me know what to do since the leaves are touching the ceiling iam unable to unfold the tips.
Hello Krishna,
Thank you for watching out videos!
Happy to hear that your rescued Bird of Paradise plant is growing under your care!!
Here are a few reasons why leaves might not open + tips
LIGHT: Make sure your plant gets a good amount of light.
HUMIDITY: If you have a low humidity in your space, place a humidifier nearby to raise it up.
You may also mist leaves daily to help them to open up.
NUTRIENTS: The plant might need some nutrients. The best time to feed your plant is March-September.
Here is my video about when and how to fertilize houseplants: bit.ly/3teZEaw
ROTATE: Rotate frequently to provide and equal light exposure to all sides.
POT: The plant might need a bigger pot.
When repotting, select a pot that is 3-5" larger (wider and deeper) than the original pot.
PRUNING: If the plant is getting too tall, you may prune it back to keep it at the desired height. Here is how: bit.ly/30JifQZ

Hi Anna,

Go for it! Treat yourself and get a Bird of Paradise Plant!
Green Cheers! Thank you for watching 🌱
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 🤗

BOF LOVE Semi-hydro! (Hydroton / Leca / Clay pellets) - I have had a regular and a Nicolai in that for about 2 years now and they are thriving!
