The Bird of Paradise Orange sports flowers borne in clusters on a long stalk which resemble the head of a tropical bird! It is a very large plant. This plant is known to attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
The Bird of Paradise Orange will do best in a sunny area, however it will tolerate direct sunlight to low indirect light. For watering, keep the soil moist being careful not to oversaturate. Over winter allow the top two inches of soil to dry before watering again. Mist occasionally to provide this plant with humidity.
About Our Plants
Our soil is custom blended and contains only the highest quality Canadian peat. We don’t try to cut cost with cheaper mixes. Additionally, all of our plants are grown with 100 to 180 day time release fertilizer so you won’t be running out of it just when the plants arrive. This is not the case with the quick release 30 day fertilizers that many other companies tend to use.
We do approximately 90% of our own liners. Since the cost is relatively inexpensive, we put twice as many liners in each container for many of the varieties. Accordingly, this makes for a much fuller plant.
All of our plants are given more than adequate spacing. For instance, most of the flowering bushes and trellis plants have 4 square feet of spacing. The Boston fern hanging baskets, for example, have 6 square feet. This allows our plants to grow as big and full as possible.
