Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

For a Bird of Paradise to flower indoors, bright, direct sunlight for at least 6 hours daily is ideal. South-facing windows are often best. Temperatures between 65-70°F (18-21°C) during the day and a slight drop to 50-55°F (10-13°C) at night during the fall and winter can encourage blooming. This temperature fluctuation mimics its natural subtropical environment, signaling the plant to prepare for flowering.
