Attention points for potting:
I. Soil
Use a high-quality commercial peat-based potting mix or a loose and breathable nutrient-rich soil. A deeper pot is fine, placing the plant at the same soil level as in the growing container. If the bird of paradise is planted too deep, it may delay flowering. Water thoroughly to evenly moisten the soil, and finally, decorative pebbles can be used as mulch on the surface.
II. Sunlight
The bird of paradise flower prefers a warm and humid semi-shaded environment, with a temperature of about 12-25 degrees Celsius. It can be placed in direct sunlight near a warm and bright window, maintaining it at a normal indoor temperature. Do not let the temperature drop below 5 degrees. Allow it to have bright natural light as much as possible.
III. Watering
Watering can be done by the "dry-wet" method. In hot summers, plenty of water is needed, and in spring and summer, it is advisable to spray water on the leaves and surrounding environment, which not only cools down but also increases the humidity, which is more beneficial for growth. In deep autumn, the frequency of watering should be reduced, and in winter, watering should be controlled to keep the potting soil slightly drier.
IV. Fertilization
During the growing period of the bird of paradise flower, a dilute fertilizer solution can be used, generally once every 15 days. Usually, fermented rice water or soaked soybean solution can be used for watering. When the flower stem is forming and during the full bloom period, an appropriate amount of superphosphate can be added to the fertilizer water, which will make the color of the flowers more vibrant. However, do not over-fertilize the bird of paradise, as too much fertilizer will produce abundant leaves and fewer flowers will be visible.
