About White Bird of Paradise Plant

The White Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai) is a majestic flowering plant with large leaves. The White Bird of Paradise flower resembles an exotic bird. It’s also known as the Giant Bird of Paradise because of its huge size.

This beautiful flower is native to the tropics of South Africa. The Strelitzia Nicolai plant grows best in USDA hardiness zones 10-12. The spectacular White Bird of Paradise can reach a height of 20 ft. outdoors, and an indoor White Bird of Paradise will usually grow to about 7 ft. tall.

Surprisingly, Strelitzia Nicolai care is easy, despite its gorgeous, exotic look. Keep this tropical plant out of reach of your pets, as it’s mildly toxic if ingested.

The Strelitzia Nicolai flower symbolizes joy and faithfulness in love. The lovely Orange Bird of Paradise is slightly more compact.
