Here is an introduction to whether the bird of paradise is suitable for keeping at home and the maintenance methods of the green plant flowers. The following is a detailed introduction.
Unknown to when, large leafy plants have become increasingly popular, especially among young people in recent years. After decorating a new house, they often keep some unique plants at home, with leafy plants being the most favored. For example, the most common ones on the market include the散尾葵 (scattered-leaf palm), 龟背竹 (butterfly palm), large calatheas, and滴水观音 (dewdrop arum), etc.
Keeping green plants indoors is indeed a good choice, but many people cannot keep the plants well after buying them. The larger the plant, the higher the difficulty in maintenance. Whether in the south or north, even with the natural environmental advantages in southern regions, leafy plants at home may still encounter various problems.
Most leafy plants are rainforest plants. The larger the leaves, the higher the environmental requirements, especially in terms of temperature and humidity. If the temperature and humidity are not met, the leaves of the plants can easily crack and turn yellow, which is a problem faced by all large plants unless you have sufficient maintenance experience or have been keeping green plants for many years.
Maintenance experience and environment are two crucial points, especially in terms of the environment, which determines plant growth, while experience determines the plant's condition.
A friend of mine spent 400 yuan and bought a huge bird of paradise at the local flower market, which was at least two meters tall. At first, it looked very beautiful and upscale in the living room. Within less than half a year, the large leaves of the bird of paradise started to crack, and the small leaves at the bottom gradually turned yellow.
Is the bird of paradise suitable for keeping at home?
Leaf cracking is a common issue with the bird of paradise unless it is kept in a greenhouse with high humidity to prevent leaf yellowing. It is normal for the leaves to crack in a dry indoor environment because low humidity leads to leaf shrinkage, resulting in cracking.
This large bird of paradise has the highest ornamental value, but the problem is that it is beautiful to look at but difficult to maintain. Eighty percent of people cannot keep it well because they lack sufficient maintenance experience and cannot control daily watering and moisturizing, leading to various problems.
How should we care for such a large bird of paradise?
What follows is only a reference. Whether it can be maintained well depends on the individual. Although the bird of paradise is tall and large, it should be planted in a small pot. The smaller the pot, the better, as a smaller pot has better soil aeration and water permeability. It is less prone to waterlogging and can maintain moisture.
