Strelitzia Nicolai is a truly tropical plant that we love; it gives the rainforest feel to any home. Common names include the White Bird of Paradise, Wild banana, and Giant BirdofParadise. It’s beautiful, whatever you call it. A bold and elegant, tall houseplant originally native to the evergreen coastal forests ofSouth Africa, and it’s recently become established in Mexico as a wild plant so, sometimes called the Mexican bird of paradise. Its also ingenious because it has developed to allow its leaves to split to let light through to the lower part of the plant, an adaptation for its native habitat in the jungle.
Strelitzia Nicolai shouts tropical to anyone looking at it with its dark green, graceful foliage reaching up towards the light. Although its a tall houseplant, it doesnt take up a lot of space with its slim form.
