- Strelitzia reginae is a species of evergreen tropical herbaceous plant, native to South Africa. Given its own family Strelitziaceae by taxonomists, it is still closely related to bananas (Musaceae). Many often mistakenly call this plant the “banana tree” because it looks like banana plants. These regal plants (for which they are named, reginae) are named for the beautiful, orange crane-like flowers that they produce, like birds of paradise. Under the right conditions, including full, southern light exposure, proper humidity and temperature, Bird of Paradise may flower indoors, although this is rare.
The split leaves that give the Bird of Paradise plant it’s bird-like morphology is scientifically believed to be purposeful leaf tearing or lobing of leaves to reduce drag in the wind. They have evolved to create splits along their lateral leaf seams to allow the wind to pass by. In doing so, they eliminate the risk of being snapped in half by a strong wind.
Wants & Needs
Here’s a cheat sheet of what a BoP needs to thrive.
Sunlight: Thrives in bright direct to bright indirect light. Can take full sun.
Water: Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Bird of Paradise can be sensitive to hard tap water. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
Humidity: Normal room humidity will do, but does best in higher humidity.
Temperature: 65°F-85°F (18°C-30°C). It’s best not to let it go below 60°F (15°C).
Size: Indoors, this plant will reach an ultimate height of about 3-5’ (1-1.5m) and will have a spread of about 2-3’ (0.5-1m).

The splits in the leaves are actually to let light through to the other leaves in their natural habitat. X
Hi from one over waterer to another ✋

Ooooppssss thanks Ill correct it :)
Extraordinaria planta, tengo una planta ave de paraíso, saludos desde de la ciudad de México.

OMG your plants are awesome, especially the Bird of Paradise. Cute dog love all your balcony plants. Thank you for sharing. Love your videos. Where do you live? I'm in Phoenix, AZ.
Thank you for your videos !! I have both Nicolai and Reginae and yours is a Nicolai !!!
Thank you Julie!!! 2 of you now has confirmed its a Nicolai :) 😄🥰
Beautiful garden! What type of orchid is that in the top left of the screen?
I love it 💖
Pot
Great video ! I’m on a search now for this plant. Found some but they’re never healthy.
I was wondering if you have a website recommendation for the housing market in Indonesia !
Yeah, great video but your species name is incorrect. On inspection I see what you have there is a Streitzia nicolai(or "white bird"), not the S. reginae or "orange bird". I have a S. reginae that I purchased a few days ago that appears to be a juvenille because of its height and size of the leaves. Yours is a nice one, BTW. I'll always remember seeing these growing outdoors in the ground all over southern California. A they age, they devolop a trunk and the plant can get quite tall over the years as the old leaf bases become part of the trunk.
Many of my followers did advise me. Thank you Dale
theres more than 2 types of birds of paradise . Amazing balcony tho
what fertilizer should I use on my BOP? this is the 6th video and noone tells you what to feed the plant
How do you care this plant during winter when it’s snowing outside or wind chill is very high. My leaves simply turns brown and I feel sorry for it.
So if it has white flowers it is the nicolai? I bought a small one yesterday not even realizing there was a smaller and larger variety. It says it is a “white bird of paradise” on the label.
Any advise on how to manage BOP bulbs ordered online?
Thank you.

Where do you live? It really looks like paradise 😍🤩
You must have a white bird. They can reach 30 feet tall outdoors. The orange birds only reach about 6 feet. You have beautiful plants!
IAM sure u can plant it outside ur house in ur outdoor garden and she will bloom.u look like u live in a tropical place.
In order to get flowers, u will need to fertilizer and blood meal in the bird of paradise too.
Nice view.. Near the sea.. Where is your country?
hello bro, y dis plant always tear the leaves and wen new growth comes, the down big leaves turns yellow
😍
Like perlite?
Mine was really healthy before but its already going to dry because of summer:(
That’s a Nicolai, you can tell by the shape and size of the leaves.
Would you recommend this plant for a dorm room? I’m thinking of getting one for my dorm room
Hi A Parker ., Absolutely!! Moderate light is good enough :-) 👍🏼😀
No its too big..
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
i live in uk my brid flowers every november i repot her every 5 years
😇😇😇
Hola Holaaa
u so cute man
No. What you have is a nicolai. That will give you white flowers.
Are u sure that your plant is a reginae?
Because the nikolai is the one that has these kind of leaves (like banana) and reginae is smaller.
Hi David.. Its a Nicolai you are right. Thanks
@@TheBalconyGardener ah np, i have a reginae, and its cute and i want to see her flower cuz i think its breathtaking to see it, but that foliage of the nikolai is just stunning.
The strelitzia is clearly my favourite plant.
Btw the nikolai simply wont get flowers inside cuz (as i saw it at least) it needs to be like a tree before the bloom. It has much bigger flowers than the reginae tho.
I watch your video cos of your good looking 😁🥰❤.. sorry...
Youre are so sweet Bendang!! Thank you
@@TheBalconyGardener welcome 🥰
I think I got the one that never blooms to 😟 I live in South Carolina it’s outside it’s like 20 feet tall and it has never bloomed😝
Give me plant please
That doesn't look like a reginae at all, I think it's a Nicolai...!
You are 100% right
