BIRD OF PARADISE BLOOM ENCOURAGEMENT! // TROPICAL PLANT PARTY

This a brief overview of keeping Strelitzia Reginae when the plants must be potted. Getting the Bird of Paradise to bloom can be a bit tricky when they are grown as houseplants, but hopefully these tips and explanations will be helpful!

My dad marveled at how I was able to get his Orange flower Bird to get 20 feet tall from a non-rooted cutting in Southern California.. My strategy is to let the plant focus on the main stalk and prune the outer. You'll get it to bloom much easier by not allowing it to compete with itself.

I’m in Johannesburg South Africa and I think my indoor Strelitzia Reginae is about to flower. I am freaking out 🥳🤪 it’s currently early spring here and it’s a bit root bound. I am so happy 😀

My hubby bought me a 4 and a half foot from the nursery. Which cost us bout $60 plus taxes is bout 65.! My BOP came with 2 of the 4 and a half in one flower planter, with root bound now. I got 2 bird of paradise in one planter from the nursery. My bird of paradise is swollen. I am still waiting for my very first flower.! My hubby saids i am so worth the $65 total. He bought this for me for my wedding anniversary.! I have been fertilizer weekly, and still waiting for my very first flower.! I give my bird of paradise lots of water and one gallon of bud and bloom fertilizer weekly. Your video is helpful to me. Thank u. I just got a new leaf in. I can hardly wait to get my very first flower soon.

I bought a 3 "clump" BOP l(Strelitzia reginae) last summer where the leaves are appox. 21/2' in height, about 20-25 exposed leaves total. I think I got a decent deal for $35.95. I know from past experience with these plants that it will probably be another couple of years before it flowers. For now, I'm super satisfied with the nice leaves, which look like little green paddles! One thing about "Birds, they never fail to satisfy the owner. Their eye catching foliage is striking and unique among flowers, even though they're not blooming.

The best video on bird of paradises I've watched so far! Your explanations were very detailed.

I love your information about this plant. My mother in law bought one for me two years ago and I dropped it after watering it…😢 The entire stem broke in half. I recently just bought another one that is a baby. However it doesn’t look like the same leaves as my other one.

I’m in Canada, BC and my bop is like 6 ft. Tall and I’m trying hard to get it to bloom! I’m going to try the cold shock.
Thanks!

Love you! Aaand your videos so, so much! I've learned a ton from you. Thank you!

I will definitely get some tips from you. Ive got S reginae as small bloom last 2016, it flowered only once in 2018, snd not flowered since. I live in UK and we rarely have a good hot temperature . But during lockdown in summer i managed to leave her outside for few days in the sun. So im hoping for a bloom this year. BTW she flowered during winter months in 2018. 🤞🏻for this year. I love your videos.

[chamoritasl]

Thank you this helped me understand knowing my birdy better

[Dude_its_Lyz]

Okay, so I know I am like a whole 3 years late, but....i definitely bought my plants before I even knew that they flower. I just love the big giant beautiful leaves. I do however live Northern Ohio, am I going to be better off to put them under an LED grow light? Do they like Osmocote to help them grow?

[blueiris]

loving your channel, such A lovely variety of plants, all of which I love - and of coarse your gold fish - Gorgeous garden all in all!!

Well I come from the area in the world that these plants are indigenous to. I will tell about the environment and climate that they grow in. Summers are hot and humid the temperature peaking at 100 degrees in summer and a minimum of 70 degrees. There is not much rain however there is frequently evening mist. The winters are dry and there are night frosts in the area, the extreme minimum would be between 15 and 18 degrees however the average is about 33 degrees. The story about Strelitzia Reginae being chilled in winter is true and not an old wives tale. They bloom more prolifically after colder dryer winters and usually just after the spring rain. This year has been tough though because there were no spring rains and what rain has fallen has been in the late summer. However the Strelitzia Reginae did bloom even under the harsh dry conditions. It is a hardy plant suited for the arid South African climate thus I suspect that it will surprise you.

Bought a four foot just a couple days ago, and kept it outside. We had one cold spell, and boom, blooms! I’ve got a couple flowers coming now not just one. Root bound pot from nursery, fed them the first day and now we’ve got flowers. 7, 000 feet up in the North AZ mountains.
