White Bird of Paradise
Strelitzia nicolai
Stately and bold, the White Bird of Paradise commands admiration with its towering silhouette and large paddle foliage. As it grows, natural splits appear along the leaf ribs—a biological adaptation allowing breezes to pass through without snapping the foliage.
Dispatched directly from climate-controlled nurseries with root thermal wraps, custom protective internal sleeves, and built-in moisture reserves.
Plant Care & Lighting Science
Every White Bird of Paradise shipped by Ferny's is acclimated in filtered glasshouses. When positioned in bright indirect, it transpires moisture cleanly without scorching leaf margins. Keep 3 to 6 feet away from unshaded South/West windows.
Substrate, Drainage & Moisture Rhythm
Root rot occurs when water stagnates in un-aerated soils. Our potting configurations use porous chunky bark and perlite blends with custom drainage reservoirs. Always check the top 2 inches with your finger before soaking: Every 7 days when top 2 inches dry.
Greenhouse Direct & 30-Day Guarantee
Unlike warehouse middlemen who store foliage in dark fulfillment centers, Ferny's packs each living plant directly inside the nursery. Thermal root insulation protects against weather spikes in transit, guaranteed healthy for 30 full days.
