duo bird of paradise plants
We're a duo of Bird of paradise plants, and we're also known as the Strelitzia (what a wonderful name for such a beautiful plant). Some people call me also Crane flower. I'm an attractive plant and I'm very fashionable. I come from the southern parts of Africa. I'm known for the deep orange and dark blue color of my flowers.
Do you know why they call me the Bird of paradise? My flowers open in the shape of a hand fan (abanico), very similar to the shape of a bird and I usually flower several times a year in the most ideal conditions.

care tips
The Strelitzias are plants that need a lot of light, they can even be put in full sun if they are introduced little by little to it. During the winter, place them in the sunniest window with artificial light as a supplement.
When it grows outdoors it needs to be in areas where the temperature does not fall below 5ºC. For the temperature to flourish it must be above 12ºC. Once they are settled, they can survive with a shortage of water, especially during the winter, although in summer it will be necessary to provide them with water regularly and in depth. We recommend to remove the yellowish or brown leaves and cut the flower when it's passed.
