Care:
Light: Place in bright, indirect light indoors. Outdoors, they can tolerate full sun to partial shade.
Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering. Water less frequently during the winter months.
Humidity: They can tolerate average indoor humidity levels but will benefit from occasional misting, especially in dry conditions.
Temperature: Birds of Paradise prefer warm temperatures and are sensitive to cold drafts and frost.
Soil: Well-draining soil mix is essential to prevent root rot.
