The distinctive white bird of paradiseStrelizia nicolai is one of the best known of all the tropical plants and is a cousin to the banana. Surprisingly, the bird of paradise is easier to grow than many tropical plants and makes for a vigorous, rapidly growing indoor plant. It can be moved outside in the summer, and allowed to gain alot of growth before coming in for the colder months to grace a bright indirect lit room . It likes consistent moisture and serves as a strong vertical plant to provide the backdrop for many plant groupings. A must have!
