Strelitzia Nicolai – Bird of Paradise | Giant White Bird of Paradise Plant
The Strelitzia Nicolai, commonly known as the White Bird of Paradise, is a striking tropical plant with broad, banana-like leaves and a tall, elegant growth habit. Native to South Africa, this plant adds bold height and sculptural greenery to indoor or shaded outdoor spaces.
Reaching heights of up to 2–3 meters in the right conditions, the Nicolai variety is larger than Strelitzia Reginae and is known for its white and blue bird-shaped flowers when mature—though indoors, it's typically grown for its dramatic foliage.
Perfect for floor planters, open interiors, hotel lobbies, and modern homes, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light and can adapt to partial sun outdoors in warm climates.
