Bird of Paradise

This beautiful tropical plant has its origins in the southern parts of Africa, where it can grow up to 6 meters tall in the wild. 

Looking at the Bird-of-Paradise, it is understandable that it is one of the most popular indoor plants. Its large green leaves, clearly show its origin in a more tropical climate. The Bird-of-Paradise fits into most homes because, unlike many other large plants, it grows relatively vertical and therefore does not take up too much space in a room. The Bird-of-Paradise brings summer into your home and give the feeling that you are in a tropical rainforest.

Botanical name: Strelitzia nicolai.

Temperature: The plant thrives in the Danish indoor climate with temperatures between 15-30 °C. It is sensitive to cold, so do not place it in a room where the temperature may drop below 15 degrees.
