Thrives in bright indirect light to full sun when acclimated. Not suited for low light conditions.

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Pro tip: Birds of Paradise can benefit from filtered water or water left out overnight before using.

Normal room humidity will do, but the Birds of Paradise prefers humid conditions if possible. Consider incorporating a fine-mist mister or humidifier to boost the humidity level indoors.

Use a well-draining potting mix. Mix in ingredients such as perlite or lava rocks to increase soil aeration as needed.
