Description

Strelitzia Nicolai, also known as the white bird of paradise, is a majestic houseplant that brings a regal touch to any interior. Her large, banana-like leaves grow in a fan shape, creating a lush tropical vibe that evokes faraway places. While she rarely blooms indoors, her white flowers with blue accents are a true spectacle when they do appear.

This plant can grow up to three meters tall, making her a striking focal point. She develops multiple stems and forms a robust, architectural structure that fits beautifully in spacious living rooms, lofts, or offices. Even without flowers, Nicolai is a living work of art — powerful, elegant, and calming.

What makes her extra special is her ability to purify the air. She’s highly air-purifying and contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Combine that with her tropical presence and relatively easy care, and you’ve got a plant that scores high on both aesthetics and function.

Care tips

Nicolai loves plenty of light, ideally a spot with sun to partial shade. She tolerates direct sunlight well, especially as she matures. Place her near a south- or west-facing window where she can spread her leaves generously. Younger plants are a bit more sensitive, so start with filtered light and gradually increase exposure.

When it comes to watering: she has moderate needs. Let the top layer of soil dry slightly between waterings. In spring and summer, water her weekly; in winter, every 10 days is usually enough. Use a pot with good drainage and a light, airy soil mix. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so “better a bit dry than too wet” is the golden rule.

Nicolai enjoys medium to high humidity. Mist her leaves regularly to remove dust and keep their shine. During the growing season, feed her monthly with a tropical plant fertilizer. Repot her every two years into a sturdy pot — she grows large and heavy, so give her space to shine.
