Default Nursery Pot or Upgrade to a Chic Chive Pot
Our plants come in the standard nursery pot unless you opt for one of our snazzy Chive pots. Keep in mind, each plant is a unique snowflake—size, shape, and quirks may vary. We do our best to deliver a plant that resembles the online glam shot and will thrive in your home, but perfection is a tall order.
Pot Size vs. Plant Size: It’s Not You, It’s the Container
We like to keep things almost simple—plants are measured by the size of the pot they’re in, not how tall or fabulous they currently are. When someone says a plant is “in a 6-inches,” they’re talking about the diameter of the container, not the plant itself. That gorgeous fiddle leaf fig might be towering over your sofa while technically still being “in a 10-inch pot.” Height? Totally subjective. It depends on the plant species, its mood that day, and how mature it feels like being. So next time you’re plant shopping and wondering why your “small” monstera could double as a room divider—blame the pot. Not the plant.

How to take care of your Bird of Paradise
If you're looking to bring a slice of the tropics into your home, the Bird of Paradise plant (Strelitzia reginae) is your bold, leafy answer. Known for its dramatic foliage and exotic flowers resembling a bird in flight (hence the name), the Bird of Paradise is one of the most popular tropical houseplants on the market. Whether you're nurturing a young plant or coaxing it toward blooming glory, this plant care guide covers everything you need to know to keep it happy and healthy.
Care Level
Moderate: Needs some attention
The Bird of Paradise is not the easiest plant to care for—but it’s not impossible either. With the right mix of light, water, and patience, even beginner plant parents can turn their homes into a tropical paradise.
Light Requirements
Bird of Paradise plants crave bright, indirect sunlight, though they can handle a few hours of direct sun. If you’re serious about encouraging blooms, give it at least 6 hours of light per day. East or south-facing windows are ideal.
Watering
This plant likes its soil to be kept consistently moist but not soggy. Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out before watering. In winter, reduce watering frequency but don’t let it dry out completely.
Humidity and Temperature
As a tropical plant, the Bird of Paradise loves high humidity. Mist it regularly, use a humidifier, or place it near a pebble tray with water to maintain optimal moisture.
Keep your Bird of Paradise in warm temperatures—ideally between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid sudden drafts, cold air, or dramatic temperature changes.
Soil
Choose a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A blend of potting soil, perlite, and a touch of sand works beautifully.
Interaction with Pets
Unfortunately, no. Bird of Paradise is not pet-safe. It contains compounds that can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and drowsiness. Keep this plant out of reach of curious pets or consider a pet-friendly alternative if you’ve got furry roommates.
Bird of Paradise Family
The Bird of Paradise plant, also called Strelitzia, is native to South Africa and boasts large, banana-like leaves and stunning orange and blue flowers. While indoor plants don’t always bloom, their lush, sculptural leaves make them an eye-catching focal point in any space.
The Self-Watering Pot Who’s More Responsible Than Most Roommates
Remembering to water your plants is a noble goal, but life happens (and sometimes Netflix just won’t pause itself). Stylish, smart, and suspiciously more nurturing than your last situationship. Ryan the self-watering pot has a built-in reservoir that keeps your green buddy hydrated without you having to lift a finger—Making sure your plant stays alive even when you forget it exists. Finally, a Ryan you can actually trust.
Feed Your Plants Like You Actually Know What You’re Doing
Your plants called—they're tired of your "just water and hope" approach. Give themVerteRx, the premium plant food packed with vitamins and growth boosters. Stronger roots, lusher leaves, and fewer judgmental stares from your fiddle-leaf fig. Because even plants deserve proper nutrition (unlike your diet).
