Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She needs very bright light and can take gentle direct sun once acclimatised.
  • Best Room: A bright conservatory, sunny living room or large window space.
  • Snacks: Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth with a balanced fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: Average home humidity is fine, though she appreciates occasional leaf cleaning.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep above 12°C, with warmer conditions for active growth and flowering.
  • Thirst: Water when the top few centimetres dry, then drain well; reduce slightly in cooler months.
  • Safety First: Use caution – can cause irritation if eaten, so keep away from pets and small hands.
  • The Bedding: Use a rich but free-draining houseplant mix with added perlite or bark.
  • Family Tree: Propagate by division only on mature clumps, as it resents disturbance.
  • Space Needs: Give her room as a floor plant with broad leaves and tall flower stems.
  • Speed: A steady grower that flowers best with age, strong light and patience.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for scale, mealybugs and spider mites on leaf bases.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when needed, as slightly snug roots can encourage flowering.
  • Haircut: Remove old leaves and spent flower stems at the base.
  • Fresh Air: A bold flowering foliage plant that brings true tropical drama indoors.
  • Plant Lore: The flower shape resembles a bird in flight, which is why this plant has such an iconic common name.
