The White Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai), from South Africa and named after Tsar Nicholas I, is a large, glossy-leaved plant from the Strelitziaceae family. Its dark green, lance-shaped leaves can reach up to 2m, and it blooms striking white and blue flowers resembling a bird of paradise in late winter or early spring. It requires bright indirect light and plenty of water during the growing season, with well-draining soil to avoid waterlogging. Nutrient-rich soil and regular fertilization are beneficial. While it can be outdoor in summer, it must be protected from frost.the winter.
