The Strelitzia Augusta, commonly known as the White Bird of Paradise, produces an elegant fan of large, deep green leaves on sturdy stems. Mature specimens develop white flowers with an orange tint, their shape closely resembling a bird in flight. The plant is available in heights ranging from 160 to 210 cm, with pot sizes from Ø21 to Ø30 cm.
The scale and distinctive leaf structure make the Strelitzia Augusta a strong focal point in lobbies, meeting rooms, retail environments and hotel interiors. Its fan formation gives a calm, coherent look both as a standalone specimen and in group arrangements. For projects placing several plants in the same space, the consistent sizing across the range simplifies planning.
The plant has a moderate water requirement: water when the top layer of soil feels dry, and ensure the roots are never left standing in water. A position with generous indirect light suits it best, indoors or in a sheltered outdoor setting. As a general guide, plant height works well at roughly half to two-thirds of the available ceiling height. Each plant is packed in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants, with a protective sleeve and secured for transit to arrive in good condition.
Can the Strelitzia Augusta be used outdoors as well? Yes, outdoors it thrives in a sunny, sheltered position. Indoors, it prefers a spot with plenty of indirect light. The right choice depends on the specific site and local conditions.
How much maintenance does this plant require on a project site? Maintenance is straightforward: water when the top layer of soil feels dry and avoid waterlogged roots. No other special care requirements are indicated, which makes it practical for projects with multiple specimens.
How do I select the right size for my space? Available heights run from 160 to 210 cm. A useful rule of thumb is to aim for plant height at roughly half to two-thirds of the clear ceiling height. In rooms with lower ceilings, the smaller variants are usually the better fit.
Can I order multiple units for a project? Yes, ordering per unit or in larger quantities for a project is possible. All variants come from the same range, so a series or group arrangement forms a coherent whole.
How is the plant packaged and when does it arrive? Each plant is packed in a sturdy box designed specifically for indoor plants, with a protective sleeve and secured for transit. The standard delivery time is five working days.
