The Strelitzia Reginae plant is native to South Africa. This plant is commonly grown outdoors in a variety of warm and tropical areas. I saw my first Bird of Paradise plant in person on vacation in Hawaii. They are absolutely stunning when they are in full bloom.

This plant gets its name from the gorgeous flowers it produces. They can bloom in a variety of colors and resemble beautiful tropical birds. The plant can bloom outside when it has plenty of light and proper care. Unfortunately it does not typically bloom when kept as an indoor plant.

The leaves can grow out with small breaks or slits in them. Don’t panic, this is something the plant naturally does to make itself hardier in rain or wind. It helps with the aerodynamic properties of the leaves.

Sometimes the edges of the leaves can turn brown. There can be a couple of reasons for this. Humidity is an important part of caring for this tropical plant. If you have a very dry home, consider adding a small humidifier to increase the humidity around the plant.

Tap water can also burn the edges of the plant leaves if it has lots of chemicals. To avoid this you can water your plant using dechlorinated or distilled water.
