How to prune a bird of paradise? The correct method is easy to understand at a glance
The bird of paradise is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Strelitziaceae, with no stem, so when some leaves wither or become diseased, flower lovers do not know how to prune a bird of paradise. It is actually not difficult. If a leaf has withered but the petiole part is still fresh green, we can first cut off the leaf and keep the petiole. After a few days the petiole will also gradually wither, and then we can cut off the petiole.
When pruning, note that at most we cut off the petiole part, and should not cut directly down to the base, because new leaves grow out from the base, as shown in the picture above.
That is basically all there is to pruning. There is no need to worry too much; you will not ruin it by pruning. When many flower lovers grow a bird of paradise, the problem they encounter most is leaves that do not spread out, or even curl. In fact, these problems are mostly caused by issues with light and humidity.
The bird of paradise is a tropical plant. The climate of its place of origin is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. Note that high temperature does not mean blazing sun, so when caring for a bird of paradise we must pay attention to light and humidity.
The bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae) needs no less than 4 hours of direct light every day, and ideally bright light all day. When the sunlight is strong, take some protective measures. In winter, which is mainly the flowering period, ample sunlight helps increase flower production. Light regulation emphasizes the management principle of "not shady in winter, not sun-scorched in summer." Under shaded conditions the plant's leaves look more beautiful, but the number of flowers will be somewhat fewer.
