The plants bloom off and on year round in suitable climates. Mature, healthy plants can produce up to 36 flower spikes a year, which will last for weeks. Once considered part of the banana family, these plants have escaped this lowly fate and now have their own family – the Strelitziaceae. These plants are low maintenance which makes them valuable for urban landscaping. They are commonly seen growing in traffic islands and in gardens in apartment complexes in California. Even better is their tendency to stay put. Unlike tree roots that will eventually lift sidewalks, bird of paradise roots do not thicken as the plants age. Bird of paradise plants grow wild among other shrubs along riverbanks in many parts of South Africa, and are important sources of nectar for birds.
Bird of Paradise Germination:
1) Knick the seed shells with a file or small knife and soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 3 days. Change water daily.
2) Remove the bright orange tuft of hairs after you have soaked the seeds.
3) Use a heated propagator to keep a bottom heat of 85-90°F. This will help increase the germination rate and speed.
4) Seeds should be planted 1 Inch deep in moistened, high quality potting mix. Cover the pot with plastic to retain humidity and keep the soil moist. Uncover daily for a few minuntes of fresh air. The seeds should germinate in one to three months if kept moist. Be patient as with any Tropical or Exotic, germination times are always erratic. Don’t toss any early as they all have their own time as They’re well worth your wait.
