In China, the bird of paradise is a rare and precious flower, and its blooms are extremely delicate and gorgeous;The pistil is sky blue, the sepals surrounding the pistil are a brilliant orange-yellow, and the bract supporting it from below is orchid green edged with purple.

The entire flower shape opens amid rich, upright green leaves, much like a crane raising its head to gaze into the distance. In addition, the plant itself is also very distinctive,It looks just like a bird with wings spread, appearing extremely crisp and elegant, so its decorative and ornamental value are both very high.

The bird of paradise generally blooms in autumn and winter, and the flowering period can last more than 100 days. Even when it is not blooming, the bird of paradise's broad, oil-green leaves also have excellent ornamental value.

Soil

Planting the bird of paradise requires sandy soil rich in humus, or soil made by mixing equal parts coarse sand, leaf mold, peat, and garden soil thoroughly.

2

Watering

In water management, you must grasp the right amount. How much to water depends on seasonal changes, the plant's growth condition, and the actual degree of dryness or moisture in the soil. Generally speaking, watering should follow the principle of watering when dry and stopping when moist. In summer, watering must be sufficient, and in spring and summer it is also necessary to frequently spray water on the leaf surfaces. In winter, in indoor spaces with air conditioning or underfloor heating, it is also necessary to frequently spray water on the leaf surfaces.

Temperature

The bird of paradise likes warmth and fears cold. The suitable temperature during the growing period is 20-28°C. In southern China it can be cultivated in the open ground, while in areas north of the Yangtze River basin it is cultivated in greenhouses.

Light

In winter, spring, and autumn, the bird of paradise should be given sufficient light. If light is insufficient, the plant will grow thin and weak, and flowering will be poor or it will not bloom. In summer, attention should be paid to shading. It is best to place it under a shade shed or in the shade of a large tree, or it can be kept indoors in a well-ventilated place with bright scattered light.

5

Pest and disease control

The bird of paradise is prone to scale insect damage, which can be removed manually once discovered. In summer, when temperatures are high, this is the active period for scale insects. A 800-fold dilution of phosmet can be used, sprayed once a week for control.

Propagation

The bird of paradise is propagated by division. This is mostly done in spring after the flowers fade, combining division with repotting. Division can be carried out only when the mother plant has more than 5-6 buds.

Take the mother plant out of the flower pot together with its roots, use a sharp knife to cut downward from the selected new plant's rhizome on the mother plant's rhizome, then slowly separate the root system by hand. Be careful when dividing, to prevent breaking the roots and damaging the root system. The new plant divided from the mother plant must have 2-3 buds and a certain amount of fibrous roots. Apply fresh charcoal powder or plant ash to the wound to prevent the wound from rotting, then plant it in a pot. After planting, do not water first, and place it in a shaded place.

Such a fresh and elegant bird of paradise, with its large evergreen leaves all year round, makes people feel affectionate whether it is placed in a home living room or in places such as an office or conference hall.
