A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Need info on caring for bird of paradise.

Anyone out there that can give me some basic instructions on the proper way to care for an indoor bird of paradise plant? I just bought it the other day. It is not at blooming age but is about 5 feet tall or so. Basic instructions on watering, fertilizing, and also I read something about maybe having to mist the leaves in the winter since I am in PA and they like humidity? Any info will help.

Thanks

I read it takes 7 years for a Bird of paradise to Bloom.......I am in Pa. also. That will give you lots of time to admire the foilage......
