With its large, glossy green leaves and unique, colorful flowers that emerge in bright orange and blue, this tropical perennial adds a dramatic flair to landscapes and patios alike.

Type of Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade
This plant thrives in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates. Aim for at least 6 hours of sunlight daily to encourage robust growth and prolific blooming.

Watering: Moderate Water Requirement
Tropical Bird of Paradise prefers consistently moist soil but can withstand short periods of drought. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant’s growth slows.

Companion Planting:
For a stunning tropical display, pair Tropical Bird of Paradise with other vibrant plants such as Hibiscus, Plumeria, and Croton. It also complements Palms and Ferns, creating a lush, layered effect in your garden while attracting pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies.
