Fast Growing | Beginner Friendly

Ever had the urge to move to the tropics and sip fruity cocktails on the beach for the rest of your life? Well, having a bird of paradise in your home is about as close as you can get to that without all the drama of uprooting your family and leaving your life behind. 

Also known as Strelitzia Nicolai, White Bird of Paradise, Banana Leaf Plant.

Fun Facts

 

· Perdy's Botanical name, Strelitzia Nicolai, commemorates Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, a former queen of Great Britain, and namesake of several Canadian landmarks including Queen Charlotte City in Haida Gwaii, BC, Queen Charlotte Channel between Bowen Island and West Vancouver, and Charlottetown, PEI.

 

· Although she doesn't bear any fruit, Perdy is a cousin to the banana tree and they are very similar in appearance. 🍌

Care

Difficulty Easy - relatively low maintenance.

Light This plant will grow best in high light. Place in a location close to a window or where it can have a wide view of the sky. It is not suitable for low light areas.

Water Check soil moisture weekly using your finger or a moisture meter and water thoroughly when the top 50-75% of soil is dry. In average household conditions, this will be approximately every 7-10 days and longer in the winter.

Soil Use a blend of 75% Tropical Mix with 25% Perlite.

Other Leaf splits, especially on a mature plant like this one, is a natural trait of this plant. If you see some splits in the leaves, there's no cause for concern as this is an adaptation that the plant has developed to handle strong winds in the wild.

Includes

  • A healthy plant from a local BC greenhouse.
  • Potted in a standard plastic nursery pot with drainage holes.
  • Potted with soil mixed specifically for each plant.
  • 30-day healthy plant guarantee.
  • Expert care support for the lifetime of your plant.

Why choose Frondly?

  • Not your average plants

  • See the plant you'll get

    We take photos of each new batch of plants at our in-house studio to ensure that the plant you receive is nearly identical to the one you see online. Don't agree? We'll pick it up and provide a full refund, no questions asked.

  • Living room ready

    Before your plant is delivered, we carefully clean and prune them so they are ready to be displayed in your home. Cleaner leaves also absorb more sunlight, key for optimal plant health. Pretty and healthy is a win-win!

Service was very fast, communication excellent, delivery seemless, and a healthy Benji brought a smile to recipients face. Excellent work!

Great Plants and Pots

Two years ago we purchased a Bird of Paradise, with a ceramic pot from Frondly. It has been an amazing plant and now needs to be split. So we purchased a new pot from Frondly. Staff is lovely, selection of bigger pots really good. We looked many other places but only Frondly had large, modern planters suitable for inside.

Love my cute little orchid

I ordered the mini orchid with a pot. It arrived healthy with lots of buds. Most of the buds are open now and it is beautiful. This would make a great gift.

Monstera packed for travel

I picked up a Thai Constellation Monstera to take with me to Yellowknife and Frondly did a fantastic job of packing it for travel. It arrived safe and sound.

Great little plant

I bought this as a gift for a friend. It’s a cute little plant and easy to take care of. So far the experience through Frondly has been great.

Kanso pots are fabulous!

I actually got the Kanso pots as a substitution for the pots I ordered (that subsequently were out of stock), and it was a very happy occurrence. The Kanso pots are good looking and fit perfectly with the feel of our bathroom where they are now home to our new plants and also our bedroom where they now are home to our repotted pothos and its propagated offspring. A real win! I am so happy with these pots and highly recommend them. Thank you, Frondly staff, for the substitution recommendation.
