About the Bird of Paradise Plant

The Strelitzia reginae, more famous as the Bird of Paradise plant is named so for its beautiful orange and blue blooms. A cousin of the banana family, it is one of the easier and more tolerant tropical plants to be grown at home. The plant can grow easily anywhere from bright direct light to semi-shade areas to reward you with graceful arching leaves that come out directly from the soil resembling a hand fan.
