Whew! I successfully re-potted my 3 year old bird-of-paradise. It was centerpiece at our wedding.

I'm making a semi green house for him out of a shelving set. The back is a white shower curtain and there will be a clear one around the front. Lighting is 2 T12 daylight and 2 T12 warm bulbs. That should straighten out the twist from trying to get better light. Going to set a small humidifier in the bottom.

Nice looking setup for the Bird of Paradise :thumbright:

It's a major accomplishment to grow one of those in your climate :thumbright:

Cheers

I hope that its one of the smaller varieties, otherwise you will be designing the house round the bird of paradise. :)

My mom got it as the centerpiece for our wedding almost 3 years ago. It is supposed to top out at ~6ft. It was about 5inches tall at the wedding.

If it gets too big it will end up at relatives's house in Texas.
