Want the stunning look of a 5-6' plant in your living room, but not the $300 price tag? Grow it yourself! (And yes, it grows fast!)

Take it outside on your porch in summer, but be prepared to water frequently.

A lot like their cousin Bananas, Bird of Paradise need bright sunlight, including some direct sun. Water frequently with a cup of water, but not until the top layer of soil is mostly dry. They grow fast and will need compost or fertilizer treatment.

Safe for cats and dogs.

This plant stands 3.5' tall and 2' wide.
