Botanical name: Strelitzia nicolai
Common name: Giant Bird of Paradise

A great choice for instant height in a room. Its banana-like fronds fan out and upwards, creating an instant oasis in your home. Sometimes used for outdoors, and a great screening plant for tubs, avoid planting them in the ground unless you have the space for a 6m sensation!

Care instructions.
Light: inside a bright, well-lit position is best. Outdoors they will grow in shade and even full sun.
Watering: make sure you let it drain freely, and never have water sitting in the saucer. It likes to be reasonably moist over the warm months, but as the weather cools, ease off the water and let it dry out slightly between drinks.
Feeding: use liquid fertiliser every few weeks, as per instructions on the pack.

Tip: use a moist cloth to wipe down the leaves and keep them free of dust. A little white oil or melted coconut oil can be applied to give them an extra luscious shine.
Giant Birds of Paradise don’t respond well to excessive wind, as it can tear their leaves easily.

Botanical name: Dypsis lutescens
Common name: Golden Cane Palm

Golden Cane Palms are prized for their golden stems and bright green fronds.  They will grow happily in any frost-free position, and when planted outdoors can grow to 6m.  One of the charming characteristics of this palm is its suckering habit, which means that as it grows taller it also gets thicker and bushier. 

Just remember to have enough room for it if you’re planting it outside, and don’t put it too close to any structures.  Indoors and pots are perfect partners for golden cane palms.
