Know before you buy
Yes, the Yellow Bird of Paradise needs direct sun to maintain its health and vibrant foliage. It is best placed in a spot that receives several hours of unfiltered, bright light daily.
While it can be kept indoors, it requires a very bright location, such as a south-facing window, to mimic its natural tropical environment. If your indoor space lacks intense natural light, it may struggle to thrive.
The plant is shipped in a large trade gallon pot. It arrives fully potted and established, so it is ready to be placed in your home or garden immediately upon arrival.
Yes, it is an excellent choice for outdoor garden design. However, ensure you live in a climate that supports tropical plants, as it is not frost-tolerant and will need protection or to be brought indoors during colder months.
Your plant will arrive potted and planted in its trade gallon container. Florida Foliage ensures it is packaged securely for transit, and every purchase is backed by a 30-day refund or replacement policy if you are not satisfied with the condition of your plant.
