Pot Design & Size
At Léon & George we pay special attention to detail. Our staging kit includes stabilized natural lichen for a bright finish.
We also know that finding the right watering routine can be difficult and unlike the last piece of furniture you bought, a live plant requires special attention.
That's why your plant comes with a simple and stylish watering indicator that tells you when it's time to water your plant, as well as clay balls and a matching saucer to retain moisture and limit the risk of overwatering.
Designed and tested with research institutes and agronomists, this tool works without batteries and uses a simple color scale: blue = enough water, white = it may be time to water.

Watering
Approximately 0.5 to 1 l. of water once a week in summer, every 10 days to 2 weeks in winter.
Care Guide
For watering, use water at room temperature and whose chlorine has evaporated. Let the soil dry between 2 waterings. Remove the decorative moss beforehand to avoid wetting it. Water in 2 times, spaced about 10 minutes apart, so that the soil absorbs the water well. Spray the foliage of your plant regularly to increase the humidity level. Clean the foliage once a month with a soft cloth and diluted black soap. Rotate the pot a quarter circle at this time to promote smooth growth. Apply suitable fertilizer once a month from March to September.

Featured Questions
Does Strelitzia purify the air?
Strelitzia, though impressive for its size and lush leaves, is not specifically recognized for its air purification capabilities. Sure, it helps renew the oxygen in your room, but its superpower lies more in its ability to transform any space into a tropical slice of paradise.
So, even if it doesn't actively filter toxins from the air like some other houseplants, it excels at bringing a touch of freshness and beauty to your environment, which is already a big step towards a healthier, more pleasant interior to live in!
Is the Bird of Paradise toxic or poisonous to humans or pets?
This houseplant is known to be mildly toxic if ingested, and can cause irritation in humans and pets. Better safe than sorry, especially with such striking beauty. It is therefore wise to keep it out of reach of curious children and adventurous pets.
Is the Bird of Paradise easy to care for?
Absolutely, the Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia Nicolai) is a champion of easy care! It's perfect for those who want to bring a touch of exotic nature into their home without too many complications. With moderate water requirements and a preference for bright indirect light, yet able to adapt to a less bright location, it's pretty forgiving if you forget to water it from time to time. What's more, its hardiness makes it less susceptible to disease.
Remember to spray its stems and foliage regularly, and leave the substrate surface to dry between waterings.
In short, it's the ideal plant for budding gardeners or busy people looking for a little carefree greenery.
Is Strelitzia Nicolai prone to disease and parasites?
Strelitzia Nicolai, also known as Bird of Paradise, is relatively hardy, but not immune to disease and pests.
Red spiders and mealybugs can sometimes invade its large leaves. To keep your plant in tip-top shape, inspect its foliage regularly. In the event of invasion, rapid intervention with a suitable treatment is the key. Remove pests with Super Neem Oil solution and a soft cloth, and spray foliage more regularly to increase atmospheric humidity.
Strelitzia Nicolai can also be affected by fungi, particularly if over-watered or over-humid. Signs of such infestation include the appearance of brownish spots or mildew on the leaves. To treat this problem, it is essential to reduce humidity around the plant, ensure good air circulation, and remove the affected parts. The use of a plant repair treatment may also be necessary. It's always best to prevent these problems by maintaining a proper watering regime and avoiding letting water stagnate at the bottom of the pot.
Does Strelitzia need a lot of sun?
Strelitzia, or Bird of Paradise, is a fan of light! It thrives in bright but not direct light in a shadier location. Think of it as a sun-lover, without wanting to tan all day. A bright spot in your home, without direct exposure to the sun's scorching rays, will be its own little corner of paradise. This plant also adapts to less bright environments, but it may play coy and not grow as quickly. In short, it loves light, but not too much!
Does the Bird of Paradise produce flowers and fruit?
Strelitzia Nicolai, known for its lush leaves, can also astonish with its exotic flowers. In ideal conditions, it produces colorful flowers, reminiscent of an exotic bird in flight. Indoors, however, flowering is rare and depends on factors such as light, humidity and the age of the plant. Fruits, meanwhile, are uncommon in the domestic environment. If you're lucky enough to see it in bloom, it's a botanical spectacle not to be missed!
How big can a Strelitzia Nicolai grow?
Strelitzia, also known as the Bird of Paradise, can reach 10 meters in height in the wild. Indoors, it generally won't exceed 2.50 meters. Still, it's a real indoor tree.
What is the 30-day plant guarantee all about?
We want to ensure that everyone has a successful experience with their plants. Our plants are all easy to care for and come with our care instructions to guide you in their care. Even so, if your plant dies within the first 30 days of receipt, we will replace it!
