- ABOUT HILTON:
Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Hilton Carter began his passion for plants in the spring of 2014, while living in New Orleans. With his love for interior design boiling over, he wanted to create a living space that felt more alive and relaxing. This lead him to began bringing in more plants and by 2015, now living back in Baltimore, MD, he would have accumulated more than 60 plants.
His knowledge for how to care for them came from what he gathered from nurseries, things he read online, but mainly from the trial and error he had gone through with those plants in his personal collection. Over the next few years Hilton would bring more than 300 plants into his home and studio, to create what many would call an urban jungle.

Who is this amazing individual? I need more of him in my life!! Does he have his own channel?
Sasha Dee his name is Hilton Carter. His Instagram is @hiltoncarter.
@@bisouselle thank you ❤
I'm confused, is this not his channel?
His tag is The Plant Doctor on CZcams
just saw a commercial that he may soon have a show on magnolia network
He is fantastic. Straight to the point.
By far the most helpful bird of paradise video EVER
My late Korean mother's philosophy to plant care, and to life generally, was "Pay 'attention, take care!" Good advice (that's reflected here). It's not about a schedule or doing things mindlessly, right? If you check the soil, wipe the leaves, and pay attention, (and yes, maybe speak to your plant or play music for it!), you will be rewarded with a happy, vibrant plant. Thank you for the tips, Hilton. Love from DC.
P.S. I got a really great Bird of Paradise from bloomscape.com a few months ago. They ship potted plants in good health across the U.S. and their customer service is bar none.
😻 l love birds of paradise
I could listen to him talk about plants all day!!
Thanks so much for this. Actually showing the dry soil was a big help. "Dry" or "moist" are relative words, so seeing an example of "dry" was really helpful for a novice like me. Subscribed!
Thank you sir, I was 1.47 minutes into your video, then I knew I was ment to subscribe to your channel.
I like the way that you put subtitles up,no one else has done this. I love the way that you show people how to water the plant. Yet again not many people do this, only a few. Thank you sir from England UK. Oh I'll have to get one of these soon
Thank you. It is nice to watch a video where the host is nice, warm and friendly toward the audience as well as the plants. Do you really have 300 plants? Wow. 🥳
Loving your plant humor! Definitely a great video on how to care for a Bird Of Paradise, thank you.
Wow. Your flowers are absolutely beautiful! My used to have plants around the house. God bless her. I loss her in 2010 and now I have a liking for plants. I have a total of 7 plants. Thanks for sharing these tips.
Thank you for all of that great information. I have a bird of paradise plant that I acquired last year. I have it outside to get direct sunlight by my leaves were getting brown. I've since brought it back inside and the browning stopped. It look so much more healthier.
.. Thank you Sir, for the lesson.. I bought a new plant today, because I kinda fell in love with the leaves, but I had no idea of what plant it was.. Before now 😳 oohh my goodness 🤭 well, I'm sure we'll be doing fine, when we get to know each other 🤗 I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one talking to my plants.. Again, thank you Sir for your advice, it is very much appreciated..
Ha ha ha! Loved it! I appreciated hearing about how to have a more personal relationship with your plant...after all they are all living plant beings with different personalities and needs...and the more we can identify them as such the better we can live beautifully and in sync with them. I consider them all my little children, even my almost 20 ft bird of paradise! LOL!
Wiping the leaves also helps the stamada with releasing the gases of the plant.It helps by keeping the stamadas clean of debris so they can open and close regularly.
I have a massive bird of paradise in my backyard that I literally do nothing with. I'm only watching this video because the plant doctor is the best!
I can literally sit here and just watch your videos. Great content and very informative.
Thank you so much for this, I'm about to get my first Bird of Paradise plant and this really helped me feel better informed.
Love your spirit!
Love this video! Thorough and concise! Thanks 😊
He is freaking adorable and this video was so helpful. I’m bringing one home this weekend and needed this video!
I really said that with you: " I don't want my roots sitting in water!"
Wow... He's Dr. Greenthumb👍
I love it take care of your bird of paradise LOL LOL no disrespect New York City 💜💚🖤❤💙💛
Can I use a sun lamp..this is my favorite plant and it's getting cool out..I don't get much sun..I loveu plant Lola..lol it doing wonders..just brought it in today..please help me..I want it to get big like yours.. beautiful.tx
I love this!!! Love your channel!!!! Love your scenery and your greenery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great work here!
Whoa didn't know I wasn't supposed to let the water in the base tray sit. Learned something new. Thanks! I hope to grow mine to the same size as yours!
Great video! Working on naming my plants... all 72 of them.
This plant is on my wishlist for next summer!😋
Omg I love him!
Thank you and, yes I did repeat after you😂
L.O.L .
I’ve had plants and garden stuff my whole life and I’ve never named a plant. Well, until I got my BOP. His name is Javier. We were intoxicated leaving a concert when we found him and I named him (or he told me his name) as we continued our walk to the car 😂🤷♀️
Wow this video is very informative and enjoyable!
Thank you very very much for this great advice you really really motivated me to bring my giant bird of paradise indoors to my living room out of the patio and I repotted it and I’m hoping that it does well. I wish I could add a picture on here to show you!
BOB is a great name for a BOP!
I learned a lot....more please!!
Hi Hilton, So glad to see someone who loves plants like me! Can you show us a photo of your flowers that come from that Gigantic bird of paradise?
Came bc of Jenna marbles stayed for Hilton carver!
I named mine Big Bird. ❤️🌱
1. what exact soil type do you use for your BOP? The soil that came with it from when I got it from Lowe’s is almost like a coconut husk feel without any typical soil at all.
2. What fertilizer brand do you use? And how often?
guess who bought a baby white bird of paradise today !! thank you for the wonderful tips !!
Great video, thank you...oh and good idea about naming your plants, never thought of that.
I named my BOP Birdy, thank you! 😁
I’ve had my BOP for a month now. When I first got her she was up to just below my hips in height. Now she’s up to my waist and she has recently opened a spear with my assistance of course. She is thriving and gorgeous. Her name is Penelope.
I needed this, thank you so much!
“Hey Bob number 2 you feeling good? How can I help you ?” 🤣
Hey,
When the plant is dry. Is there a particular time of the day to water them? Or does it matter?
tanishajackson19 I water mine around 11 am that way it doesn’t sit it freshly wet water with low temps
@@AllThingsHouseplants ,
Thanks for the feedback. I really enjoy your videos.
I want one so bad. ♥️
I have a Reginae, and i love her.. i hope to get Nicolai
I talk to my plants too 😄
Just got one.
👍🏼
Amazing video !! What can I do if my pot has no drainage ? I can water it and it never drains out the holes
Great question! It's really tricky if the pot has no drain holes because it can be really difficult to know when to water! Is it possible to drill some drain holes in the bottom? You'll probably have to remove the plant to do it safely. They sell special drill bits for ceramic at Lowe's and Home Depot!
Are grow lights enough to keep a BOP happy? We have a NE facing window so we get some early morning sun, but afraid it won’t be enough.
Great video. Nice personality, like a ray of sunlight for these plants I imagine. One comment my girlfriend said you shoulda named them Bop for Bird of Paradise. But i told her they are your plants and you can name them anything like. I just thought I would share that with you.
Could you do an updated video on caring for the bird of paradise outdoors please? :3
Can this plant be indoors with air conditioning? My large window that would accommodate my Bird of Paradise, Betty, has an AC vent right next to it. Betty would get some cold air on her all day in the summer. Is that ok?
This video was super helpful. My White Bird of Paradise I thought was doing amazing u til I watched the video. All of her leaves are torn except one. Which is fine. I think she’s still beautiful. But all of her leaves also sprout really high. After seeing your video and googling images, this is not the case for most White Birds. The sunlight almost reaches the pot so it isn’t that the leaves are growing towards the sun. Any ideas guys?
Very helpful
Hahahaha just like me!! I name my plants too amo tu video😜 is funny you got Bob and I got my plant Marley😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Marley is a Bamboo Palm tree 🥳🥳🥳😂🤣🤣
Hi! I’m new to owning plants and the bird of paradise is my first! I’ve had it for about a year and and been doing well with growing new leaves but I noticed overtime my leaves have all started to wilt. Why is this? And how can I fix it? I bought a slow release fertilizer a couple weeks ago to help it but so far nothings happened. What can I do?!
I have one that's 22 years old and for the past 8 months it's been drooping too. I'd call it the stalks that are drooping, not the leaves. Leaves are nice and green. Plant used to touch the ceiling but now it's about 3 feet lower. Help.
Please inform about the leaf curl problem. My plant has it and I’m starting by getting it in a clean pot, soil and such. I will soak it in light soap, vlock oil and NEEM.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours but you know I said “don’t let your plant sit in the water”
🤥
I have my bird of paradise about 12 feet away from an east facing window, it gets a little bit of indirect sunlight from a north facing window as well, is this good enough?
so my roots are root bound and i guess that is a problem, does anyone know how large the pot should be in ratio to plant and roots?
I am from NOLA also. I need more info for care of Birds of Paradise and other plants. Currently I live in TX.
If you don’t have the best light would a grow light work?
Dear Plant Doctor, my young bird of paradise plant broke today and it is a truly sad day. Any chance it can regrow from the base? I cut it just above the roots and now I wait for the miracle!
Carter I just found you from Rachel Ray show. I love your videos! Can you post a video on how to fertilize different types of indoor plants including orchids? Thank you
Loved your video, but you didn't talk about gertilizer? Do you use it and if do, which brand?
Thsnks
Can you propagate bop in water and perlite? Can you grow bop in perlite alone?
Mine was doing so well, I moved this week (february 1st) and it doesn't seem to have enjoyed the commute
I just bought three I have two that are in rooms that have great bright indirect light but I have my master that gets light but not as bright. I'm worried my BOP won't survive there... What should I do?
The leaves of my bird of paradise fold again while when I got the plant they where all unfold. The plant is in front of the window so when it’s sunny weather it gets a lot of light. What can I do ??
Can I report Bird of Paradise even if I just repotted it week ago? The reason is I think I repotted it wrong. All the roots is crowded in 1 pot I think can make 3 pots. I dont know where to send picture.
So I’m an edible garden coach and designer. With that said I’m doing self care by growing indoor amd ornamentals (I’m new to this) and I’m wanting bird of paradise as celebrating my grandfather grew up with these and his favorite.. I’m in zone 5b becoming 6a Colorado.... can I grow outdoors in warm season and indoors cool season with grow lights?
Hi edagdwg love this man your fun thanks for this information I name my plants Frankie Marvin Whitney love them Linda j. Please do more ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯
What if I have to cut the remaining (2) leaves off? Will it continue to grow?
You'll definitely want to leave at least a few leaves on the plant - they'll need them for the plant to get enough sunlight to support additional growth!
and sir how do you discard that water??? your plant is huge how do you lift that up and remove the saucer and empty it out. I neeeeed answers.
Interested in this plants sir. I am from India. How many colours founded in these plant. Where is available this plant. How can grow.
Is it grow, planted in Rajasthan,India in Northern india,sir,where climates is very hot, Sir.

I wish I had space for one of these plants
MAKE space. These plants are worth it. They're a bit temperamental but:
1. Make sure they have plenty of light.
2. NEVER overwater or allow them to stand in water for any length of time i.e. a few hours at most.
Just use common sense and my experience with them is to let them almost completely dry out between waterings. Imagine an environment where they THRIVE outside! In and around - you guessed it - southern California and the LA/Santa Barbara area. I had some fantastic pictures I took of flowering specimens(pure WHITE!) outside city hall in Santa Barbara. When they're old enough to develop a STALK(trunk), you know they've been there a long time.
Hello can I keep bop plant outside in balcony.. As m staying in flat... ND how to keep it shiny always.. My leaves r become dusty ND cracked
The original greenery pot is already 12-14inch. Do I need to repot my plant ??? My bird of paradise is around 4 feet. I just bought it yesterday . Thanks
Hi
I need a huge advise here asap. I was on the process of transferring my one year old purchased bird of paradise plant. During this process i broke the whole plant base from the roots. Please tell me what to do now.
Hilton! I'm hoping you can help me. I recently brought home a few plants one of them a bird of paradise, an ivy & pathos.. however, when I brought em home, they got exposed to really cold air and the leaves have either discolored (brown/ yellow) and/pr are droopy. Anything I can do to help them thrive? Are they doomed for?
Excellent video! 👍🏾 I just got one of these Birds of Paradise today, it’s about 3 feet tall. What size pot do you recommend for me in regards to repotting?
My outdoor bird of paradise doesn't look as large and lush like that. :( I think I need to watch a different video coz this is all about it being indoors. But still helpful!!
Edit: never mind I realise there are two versions of this plant. I don't feel so bad now! Lol
How the leaves can be tied up upright?
Can you propagate a BOP with just putting a cutting that has no root in a vessel of water like you can with many other plants?
My bird of paradise leaves are so big and leaning
Not sure how to get it straight
Direct sunlight ? Mine curls up in the sunlight. I assume that's not good ...
I have a newly growing bird of paradise and it is attacking nets how do I get rid of the bugs
Do you mist the plant? Since it is indoor, I find it hard to mist without getting wall and floor wet.
Hello! I have a question, I have a bird of paradise around this same size. It’s in a large plastic nursery pot. The last time I watered it was a month ago. When I stick my moisture meter in, it’s 4/10 and says moist. The top is dry. However, when I stick the meter through the drainage holes at the bottom, it still says wet 9/10. Should I be concerned this may cause root rot? I’m assuming it’s taking longer to drain at the bottom because there’s so much soil in such a big pot
Quynh Nguyen Hi! It sounds like some of your soil is compacted so tight that it never dries up. You should try to aerate the soil. Basically add some air “pockets” in the soil. Think about worms and bugs adding air around the roots of plants outdoors. We need to do the same for our indoor plants. I like to use a chopstick and gently stick it in to break up the soil before watering my BOP. Good luck! 🌱
To water or not to water?
Curling leaves = under watered
Finger test = soil is still moist
😩 it’s in a wall draining pot. I don’t know what to do. Help.
Hello,
Why the ends of leaves of my bird of paradise is dry? Dry air maybe? I spray them every day with water, but not help.
Love from Bulgaria 💜
I’m wondering the same!
How big should the pot be for a adult bird of paradise, is. 14" diameter pot fine for a white bird of paradise?
I want to know also
Thank you for the great informative video. I just received my bird of paradise, and I also have a monstera. Is it okay to top dress the soil with something like lava rocks? Thank you
Do you give the miracle grow like you give to cactuses and succulents?
I see this bird of paradise so nice with that big long leaves, I have one at home, looks very healthy, and it’s growing, but I can’t understand why the leaves are so small for the steam, I just can’t understand what I’m doing wrong, my apartment is low light, but I place my plant at the balcony cristal door, so all the light is coming in directly, without direct sunlight... if some one can tell me something, I will appreciate that info.
