Essential Care for Your White Bird of Paradise

To ensure your White Bird of Paradise thrives, proper care is essential. It requires very bright light, ideally even direct sun if introduced gradually; south-facing windows are often the best location. Keep the soil consistently moist during spring and summer, reducing watering in fall and winter. It’s recommended to water from the bottom to prevent leaf burn from high salt content. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced plant food diluted to half strength, avoiding fertilization in fall and winter. The ideal temperature range for growth is between 60°-80°F, as temperatures below 30°F can damage the leaves. Use a basic potting soil that retains water well but also drains efficiently to prevent root rot.
