How to raise a bird of paradise (home raising method)

1. Breeding methods

1. Flower soil: Bird of paradise likes soft, well-drained and highly fertile flower soil. When raising it, it is recommended to use nutrient soil made from a mixture of leaf mold, river sand and garden soil.

2. Temperature: It is suitable for growing in warm places. If you can keep it at 15-25℃, it will grow better. It is not particularly cold-resistant, so be sure to keep the temperature above 5°C in winter.

3. Watering: Normally, water it once every 2-3 days to ensure that the soil does not dry out. When watering it during the flowering period, be careful not to let water drip onto the flowers, so as to avoid them withering prematurely.

4. Fertilization: You can use liquid fertilizer, or homemade rice water or soybean water. During the growing season, top dressing is needed every 15 days or so, which can make it grow better.

2. Key points for domestication

1. When raising it at home, pay more attention to its growth conditions. When you find branches and leaves that are growing poorly, you should prune them in time to prevent them from wasting nutrients on the plant and affecting flowering.

2. When raising it at home, you need to place it in an environment with relatively good ventilation. This can increase its growth and is also good for its flowering.
