It's Luke from MI Gardner!!!
Lovely video thanks for the information, I'm huge into this kind of plants !
I bought one of these from a Hawaiin grower. I live in Southern Utah and it get's to be around 100-110 degree's. We have whats called the Mexican Bird of Paradise, but they don't take a lot of water. But, the tropical Bird of Paradise is a lot different than the Mexican Bird of Paradise. I plan on keeping it inside since I don't know how the heat will be for it. But, if anyone of your subscribers knows how they would do inside or it they would do good outside. I just worry about our extreme summers. St. George, Utah is 2 hours from Las Vegas and our summers are the same as theirs. The Purple and Orange BOP has always been one of my favorite flowers and I didn't think I could get any shipped to me. I was and am super excited. So, if anyone has any advice, let me know.
I love your video!! thank you sooooo much...
I live in Georgia and after a trip I ordered heliconia spathocircinata seeds. This video really helps. I’ve never grown anything since elementary school project. Any tips I can get are welcomed.
Thank, it very helpful going to get one.
I live in San Francisco (USDA hardiness zone 10a and 10b) and I've seen bird of paradise growing outdoors in many areas, mostly in the ground. I haven't seen many in containers. The temps here don't usually go above the low to mid 70s or below 50.
Thanks for this wonderful video. I purchased one I found at Walmart that were among plants that should have been given away for free. Most of them were dried to a crisp but this one was in decent shape. Unfortunately, I have no idea which one I have.
Excellent video.
Thank you Luke!
So if the leaf has grown dry and brown do I clip just the leave or pruwn the whole stem going down to the base?
How often should you repot your plant? I got mine as a baby and when it got big I repotted it. It hasn't filled the new pot, but I noticed a big root coming out the bottom hole
What do you think about using Strelitzia in constructed wetlands for domestic wastewater treatment, with gravel, in a subtropical climate, like south of Brazil? The temperature in winter reaches 0º C (32 º F). We plant Heliconia last year and died completely in winter. Thanks!
I live in Chicago I have a bird of paradise outside and it's cold out and I like to bring it in what can I do the same I plant for next summer
Hi thanks so much for the information,but I have a big white bird of paradise in my backyard and I would like to remove the small ones from the big tree,tell me how?
Can you talk about the size for the orange and blue BOP? Is there more than one size? I would like to grow them in the house. How big a pot should I use and which orange and blue BOP would be the best choice for me?
Very helpful video. for me. Thanks brother.. ❤.. 🇮🇳🙏
Excellent video a very clear presentation. Very helpful I have this plant and this has given me very useful information to look after mine. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I got a big flower this year and it looks amazing
Superutubeking Not Much Real info here. Mostly advertising for his business. Very Disappointing!

When you find Michigardener in a CZcams video from six years ago by accident
I have a BOP in a huge pot on my patio, but it has never bloomed. It is huge now. I live in the northern part of Florida, and it has survived freezing temperatures, especially when we had Vortex temperatures a couple of years ago. I'm surprised it survived. It is tough. But it has never bloomed. 😕What am I doing wrong? I don't fertilize it because I thought rain water has nutrients for the roots. The plant is about 15 years old. Thanks
how many months old are the ones in your demonstration?
What is the best soil mix for birds of paradise?
Thank you....
I live in the south. It gets very humid in summer and pretty mild zone 8 winters but it does go down to 30 degrees sometimes in winter. Can I grow them near my pool outside in large pots! Will they die back for winter or stay alive without blankets?
Thank you
Thanks
how do i get my 8 year old plant to flower.apparently it should have a white bloom with brown speckles.
Isn’t there a stemless type also? And did you just say Bananner??
The way you said "Really Like" reminded me of Kermit 3:33
😂😂😂😂
what kind of deals? how to propagate them
MIgardener! Love the work you and your wife do. Anyway, I'm interested to know how to start bird of paradise from a cutting. As well as how to and how much of the rhizome to take?
My sister just cuts hers and sticks them in moist soil and they root. She’s given cuttings to people and they have done well. They root fast. Very easy to propagate she told me.
@@RebeccaW where does your sister cut hers at? at the stalks? rhizomes? I'm trying to propagate a giant BOP now and any tips here are super appreciated
@@cotswald03 she goes to the new growth and pulls it up, it’ll break from the mother, there will be some roots visible, sometimes. Plant in a small pot and keep moist so roots can take off and grow then plant when your ready.
@@RebeccaW can we propogate in water ?
@@fatima-dz2so I’m not sure. If you pull them up with some roots attached, then put in ground and water in morning and in the evening, they’ll grow really beautiful. They also spread and pop up out of the ground with new leaves attached to the roots. (Self propagation) I know if you cut them and put in water for decoration purposes in a vase filled with water, they last weeks.
Nice video. I have been growing one now for 6 months. I was wondering when they would bloom.
Hello, I have mine for about 10 months now. How is the progress on your plants? Have they bloomed yet?
Lehlohonolo Mahlong ....unfortunately mine was destroyed in a storm last year. However, I did get to enjoy its beauty before destruction. It took the following season to bloom.
I am sorry to hear about that, hope you in good spirit and have recovered from it. I guess will just have to wait and let nature take its course with this one...
Do we need to mist them?
I just got two seedlings in the mail they are not in good shape as far a the leaves what can I do for them ?really need help😣
3 times a week depends upon the growing environment...my house is damp and I water once every 10-12 days.
seriously! I if i water min 2 times a week, fungus start to take over the soil. :l
hi from India..... Luke my concern is about the same bird of paradise plant your video was based on.... my plant is about 6+ years old. and I am doing it call right according to the information provided in your video.... full sun... sufficient water.... enough fertilizer.... but leaves of my plant are all in good shape but I have never ever seen a bloom on my plant... please help ...and suggest what should I do ?
It can take 7 yrs to bloom.
Oh and Im growing mine indoors In NY
Me too!! 😂 I’m hoping that I do well with this lol
hello can i give palm food to bop plant
I have just been given some seeds of B o p and I live here in Southern Ireland the tray of seedlings will be in our conservatory during the day but at night in the house will they still grow !! Anna xxx
Yes!! I grow mine indoors in Canada. They love direct and bright light, but must have good heat to germinate properly.
Im in the south of Ireland too yay
@@TheJuliastowe Thank you.
@@musicfortripping5843 Hi ya neighbour lol
I live in Canada and put mine outside in the summer in a place where it gets full sun for only a third of the day but the leaves still burn at the edges and it grows so tall that the leaves bend over and break. However when I bring it in and put it in a bright window for the winter, it will grow one or two flowers by January. It is seriously pot bound with the roots coming out the bottom of the pot and curling round it. I am going to have to cut these roots to get it out of the pot. Will this do it any harm or make it stop flowering if I transplant it? Will transplanting it make it grow fuller instead of taller?
I break the pot if planted in a clay pot. If in plastic here is a trick: Water the day before to have soil a LITTLE damp. Place pot on its' side & ROLL it until it is loose enough to glently pull out. I have never cut roots on any plant. This trick works on any plant. Good luck from the Louisiana Delta.
Started mine as seed. They are about as big as the little ones he help up. Problem is, they've been stuck at that size for months now. Any advice?
Water, sun / heat and fertilizer!
Where can I buy plantlets or seedlings of those three varieties (different flower colors) of Strelitzia, bird of paradise)?
I have some on my Instagram, just dm me. Therosegoddessqueen on Instagram
My plant took 5 years to bloom.
hi how do I get the seed, please
Could you please help me? I live in West Africa. I bought two already tall (nearly 5 feet) Bird of Paradise plants a few days ago, one had a flower. Two days after planting them in the garden they both fell over. What should I do? Prune them? Support them? I have no idea.
Will they survive over 100 in TX?
Cute 😍
My tree is out of control how to i take out the down bark that i cut without killing myself?
Mine was given to me and was in marginal condition. I separated it. The leaves droop terribly. I've tried various watering schedules but no change. It's nothing I can think of.
I'd appreciate any advice. I have 3 so need to figure them out!
+keith hammons keep them in atleast a 5 gallon pot outside near the shade side of your yard to get 3-4 partial direct sunlight until they perk back up looking better and or under a patio or shade screen
+keith hammons they will look pretty droopy and stunted from the separation and transplanting , completely normal . biggest trick is do not put them in direct sunlight after a transplant or they may scorch and die
I’ve seen this guy around once or twice
Hi, will a BoP plant grow in the UK (London)?
Only in a greenhouse... Far too cold in London... It might survive in summer outside but you'll have to bring it indoors in your early autumn/late summer.... Even end of summer is a bit too cool
I'm living in a tropical country. Bird of paradise can grow here in just a few months. The weather and soil condition must be contributing for the blooming.
Can these grow in a house average 75°F?
+All-thingz-cool the smaller variety yellow and orange bird can do pretty good next to the brightest light source via south west facing glass window
I apologize in advance for these negative comments that you are about to read about bird of paradise. i want to provide words of caution for anyone who is thinking about planting a b.o.p. And, if I was only allowed one word only, it's" "don't". B.O.P. grow like weed and has an invasive (destructive) root system. We have not watered it in years and yet it blooms in late spring / early summer. I am in the middle of removing one from our yard. I don't know its age, but we have been at this house for 22 years old. The foliage of the plant had a 6 foot diameter and was 5 feet tall; the roots are likely 12 feet in diameter and I do not yet know how deep; thus far, i have only dug 8 to 12 inches and counting. How do I know its diameter? It's the width of the concrete block wall that it slowly dislodged and then filled the opening. Admittedly, the wall was not very well built as inherited from the previous owner, who may or may not have been the ones to have put it up. In any case, I have spent no less than 12 hours using pick-axe, shovel, 14" electric chainsaw and today an 18" gas chainsaw in the process. I have so far filled 6 trash bins worth of debris and will probably fill another 2-3 bins before I reach my intended goal, which is simply to level to the existing adjacent grade. Yes, the roots grew and heaved the soil upward over the years too. As you can imagine a plant with a 6 foot diameter is quite a bit, but the roots are worse, because it relatively soft and break apart when you dig in. I would describe the structure of b.o.p. as a massive bundle of celeries attached to a massive network of roots much like a hairball. So....unless you never (and I do mean never) intend to move a b.o.p. go for it. And, if you must, please plant it away from any walls or structures, and do keep it in check. I think leaving potted is a good alternative. Good luck.
Wow didn't realized it took that long to flower
What is the plant to the right in your video?
Your left, but the viewers right. Kind of looks like a banana plant.
LUKE!

How to take care of Birds of Paradise
Good tips n ur cute too....I subscribed
wy do their leaves split?
+Dana Mantooth it happens from the wind
@@rickroofing5533 there is no wind indoors
We have a bird (not white) we need to move. It is about 10feet or more tall and huge. We need to move it because it might be breaking the pipes for the pool. Can I cut it down to the dirt to try and replant the root. It produces beautiful flowers, makes me sick that it needs to be moved per husband.
Jane Rathmanner NEVER cut it down. The leaves it has is the leaves it will have. The plant needs to be sustained because it does not grow leaves like other plants. Once it hits a certain leaf count, it will bloom, after that it will be another 2-4 years before it blooms again if you cut the leaves off.
MIgardener?
yeah, I think so, he said his name is Luke
Yup thats him
Growing guide?

Hey MIGardener! 😅

I wish we could get more instruction and less talk.
Ricardo Torres instruction is talking!
ok Luke you are super cute!
Larry (luke) you need to show how from seed to plant. This is a horrible video.
This is a growing guide. We are showing not only you, but the customers at larry's orchids how to grow a seedling that we sell. Thanks for watching still!
Torrey Chapman This video is growing tips for the plant not how to grow it from seed. It is an excellent video and has helped me. You have clearly not read the description and have entered the wrong search. Fantastic video very good presentation
