The Strelitzia Nicolai, commonly known as the white bird of paradise, is an evergreen plant with large, broad leaves on sturdy stems. The leaves have a distinctive folded shape that gives the plant a pronounced tropical silhouette. As the plant grows taller, it also takes up considerable width, which is worth accounting for when planning a space.
This plant suits large, well-lit interiors: hotel lobbies, retail spaces, open-plan offices, waiting areas and hospitality venues. The taller variants – up to 250 cm – hold their own against high ceilings and provide a clear focal point in open floor plans. The plant does best in warm conditions with good natural or artificial light.
The Strelitzia Nicolai needs regular watering and a bright position; it is not suited to dark corners. This page offers six size options, from 100 to 250 cm tall, with pot sizes ranging from Ø17 to Ø34 cm. Choosing the right size depends on ceiling height and the proportions of the surrounding furnishings. Multiple units for a single project can be ordered together and are delivered carefully packed.
Can this plant be used both indoors and outdoors? The Strelitzia Nicolai can be placed both indoors and outdoors. It does best in warm, sunny conditions. When selecting a location, consider the available light levels to get the most from the plant.
How much maintenance does this plant require in a commercial setting? The plant needs regular watering and a bright position. For locations where daily attention is not guaranteed, it is worth setting up a fixed care schedule to keep the plant in good condition.
How do I choose the right size for my space? Six size options are available on this page, from 100 to 250 cm tall, with pot sizes from Ø17 to Ø34 cm. Base your choice on ceiling height and the width the plant will occupy at the selected height.
Can I order multiple units for a single project? Yes, ordering single units or larger quantities for a project is both possible. Project orders are shipped as a single consignment, carefully packed to arrive in good condition.
