What You Need To Know Before You Repot Your Plant

So you've decided it's time to give your leafy friend a new home. Well, hold onto your gardening gloves because before you get started, there are a few things you should know…

Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or a newbie plant parent, repotting can be a bit like transplanting your plant to a new city. You want to make sure it settles in comfortably and flourishes. So, let's dive into what you need to know before you repot your plant and make this experience a rootin' tootin' good time!

  1. Timing is Everything

  2. The Right Pot is a Game-Changer

  3. Soil Matters

  4. Mind Those Roots

  5. One Size Doesn’t Fit All

  6. Watering Wisdom

  7. Post-Repotting TLC

Timing is Everything

Before you get your hands dirty, consider when to repot your plant. Spring and summer are like the plant equivalent of a beach vacation – the ideal time for relocation. Your plant will have the energy to adapt to its new pot and grow like it's on a tropical getaway. That said, if you have to repot in the fall or even dead of winter, it won’t be the end of the world.

The Right Pot is a Game-Changer

Picking the right pot is crucial. Think of it as finding the perfect-sized shoes for your feet. You want a pot that's just a tad larger than your plant's current one (or, you may decide to repot back into its original pot, simply refreshing the soil). If it's too big, your plant might feel like it's swimming in a sea of soil, and most plants like to have their roots tightly compacted within their soil and pot. Too small, and it's a suffocating shoe that'll cramp its growth.

Soil Matters

Imagine moving to a new city and having to adapt to a different climate. Your plant goes through something similar when you change its soil. Choose a high-quality potting mix that suits your plant's needs. Some like it dry, while others prefer to be constantly moist. Check your plant's preferences and cater to them like a plant concierge!

Mind Those Roots

When you're repotting, don't just yank your plant out like you're trying to win a tug-of-war. Be gentle and tease out those roots. If they've circled the old pot, give them a little massage to encourage them to explore their new territory. If you must, you can trim them, particularly if your plant experienced root rot (in which case, definitely trim them), or if they are too difficult to untangle from their grow pot.

repotting plants

Choosing the right pot size is essential— you can either pot back into the same size planter with fresh soil, or something just slightly larger than its current size.

One Size Doesn't Fit All

Not all plants need repotting at the same frequency. Some are like party animals and want to upgrade their space every year, while others are introverts and can go for years without needing a change. Get to know your plant's personality and repot accordingly. Some signs that your plant is ready for repotting is if the roots are circling the top or bottom of the soil surface, or if your plant generally seems to look a bit sad despite receiving adequate light, water and love.

Watering Wisdom

After repotting, your plant might be a bit stressed, just like you would be after a move. Be mindful of watering – don't drown it in sympathy water. Give it a drink, then let it settle in. Gradually increase the watering as it starts to adapt.

Post-Repotting TLC

Finally, show your plant some love after the big move. Give it some time to adjust to its new surroundings, and maybe even play some soothing tunes (okay, not really, but plants do respond positively to music!).

Remember, repotting is like redecorating your plant's home – it's a chance for a fresh start and a new lease on life. So, embrace the dirt, get your hands a little muddy, and watch your leafy companion thrive in its revamped abode.

With these friendly and funny tips, you're ready to embark on your plant-potting adventure. Happy repotting, and may your plant grow taller and greener than ever before!

The Best Fertilizer for A Bird of Paradise

Bird of Paradise plants, with their stunning tropical foliage and vibrant blooms, add a touch of exotic beauty to any indoor or outdoor space. To ensure these majestic plants thrive and reach their full potential, providing them with the right nutrients is essential. Just like any other living organism, Bird of Paradise plants require nourishment to grow healthy leaves and (if you’re lucky!) produce those iconic, colorful flowers. In this article, we'll explore the best fertilizer for Bird of Paradise and guide you on how to fertilize these plants effectively.

Bird of Paradise plants, scientifically known as Strelitzia reginae, originate from South Africa and are accustomed to nutrient-rich soils. While it's challenging to recreate the exact conditions found in their natural habitat, we can still strive to provide them with optimal care. By choosing the right fertilizer, you can supply your Bird of Paradise with the essential nutrients it needs to flourish and achieve its full potential.

When To Fertilize Your Bird of Paradise

best-fertilizer-bird-of-paradise

Discover L'alchimie Botanique, our in-house formulated plant care products, including nutrient-rich foliage mist, natural insecticidal neem oil, and potent liquid plant food, designed to nurture a diverse range of indoor and outdoor plants,

When it comes to fertilizing Bird of Paradise plants, timing is crucial. The growing season for these plants typically occurs during spring and summer when they experience active growth. It's during this period that you should focus on providing them with adequate nutrients. To ensure your Bird of Paradise receives the nourishment it requires, incorporate a liquid fertilizer into your watering routine every other week. Liquid fertilizers are easy to use and generally safe for your plants. However, it's crucial to follow the instructions on the package carefully, diluting the fertilizer into water to avoid over-fertilization and potential fertilizer burn.

As fall approaches and your Bird of Paradise enters its dormant stage, it's important to adjust your fertilization routine accordingly. During this period, you should taper off fertilizing and reduce it to every three or four weeks. This adjustment allows the plant to prepare for its dormant phase in winter when growth slows down. If your plant is  no longer growing at all, you can completely stop fertilizing until the spring.

What NPK Ratio Does The Bird Of Paradise Need?

best-fertilizer-bird-of-paradise

Transform your Bird of Paradise into a leafy paradise with healthy leaf growth!

Understanding fertilizer terminology can be daunting, particularly if you're new to plant care. Fertilizers are often labeled with an NPK ratio, representing the ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) they contain. Each plant species has specific nutritional requirements, which is why it's recommended to choose fertilizers tailored to the plant you are nurturing. 

Bird of Paradise plants, similar to their foliage-loving counterparts, benefit from fertilizers with an NPK ratio of 3-1-2. This ratio signifies a higher nitrogen content, which is essential for promoting healthy leaf growth and overall plant vigor. Nitrogen supports the production of chlorophyll, which is responsible for the plant's lush green foliage. Our all-natural liquid plant food is gentle enough to use on your Bird of Paradise year round, and has an excellent NPK ratio not just for Birds of Paradise but for all indoor plants

What’s The Best Plant Food For A Bird Of Paradise?

Now that we've covered the basics of fertilizing Bird of Paradise plants, you may be wondering which specific fertilizer is best for your beloved plant. While there are several fertilizers available with an NPK ratio of 3-1-2 that can work effectively, Boost Vitaminé, an all-natural plant food with just four ingredients, will work wonders for your Bird of Paradise. This specialized fertilizer is formulated specifically for indoor plants and provides comprehensive instructions on the best care practices, ensuring optimal growth and blooming potential.

Will Fertilizing My Bird Of Paradise Help It Grow Flowers?

If you are caring for an outdoor Bird of Paradise, then yes! Fertilizing will absolutely promote your plant’s beautifully vibrant flowers. However, it is very rare for this plant to produce flowers when grown indoors.

Any cat parent knows: keeping our feline friends out of off-limits areas is an uphill battle. And while they say curiosity killed the cat, this danger does not need to exist with your good-intentioned houseplants! Living greenery adds so much to a space, and just because you have a curious cat at home that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy all the wonderful benefits houseplants have to offer.

What To Know Before You Buy A Kentia Palm
Kentia Palm

Kentia Palms are great air-purifiers, safe for pets, and adaptable to different light levels.

So, you’ve got your heart set on a Kentia Palm. You’ve seen it in all of the magazines, and you know that it will be the perfect addition to your space. But before you dive into this gorgeous head-turner, there are a few things that you should know about the Kentia Palm. From lighting requirements to care instructions, we’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know before you buy a Kentia Palm.

The Kentia Palm Loves Indirect Light

Don’t have a sun-soaked home? Don’t worry! The Kentia Palm does not require direct sunlight in order to thrive. In fact, direct sunlight can actually be harmful to this plant. Instead, Kentia Palms love indirect light. This means that you should place your Kentia Palm in an area where it will receive bright, filtered light throughout the day. While some dappled and/or soft morning light is okay, in general you should avoid harsh direct sunlight, like that of a west-facing window. This plant can also adapt to medium light levels,  making it a great choice for the office.

The Kentia Palm is a Slow Grower

Don’t expect your Kentia Palm to grow quickly. This plant is a slow grower, and it can take years for it to reach its full height, making it a great choice for someone who doesn’t want to do a lot of maintenance over time. 

Kentia Palm

With their graceful fronds and striking appearance, Kentia Palms are sure to make a statement in any room.

The Kentia Palm is a Good Air Purifier

In addition to being a beautiful plant, the Kentia Palm is also a good air purifier. This plant is known for its ability to remove toxins from the air, such as formaldehyde and benzene, making it a great plant for anyone who wants to improve the air quality in their home or office.

The Kentia Palm is a Pet-Friendly Plant

If you have pets in your home, you’ll be happy to know that the Kentia Palm is a pet-friendly plant. This means that it is non-toxic to both dogs and cats. Of course, it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your pets when you introduce a new plant to your space, just to make sure that they don’t show any interest in it–if anything for the plant’s sake!

The Kentia Palm is a Great Statement Plant

If you’re looking for a plant that will make a statement in your space, the Kentia Palm is a great choice. This plant has a bold, tropical look that attracts the eye and beautifies any space. Whether you’re using it as a focal point in your living room or adding it to your office to liven up the space, the Kentia Palm is a plant that will not disappoint.

Avoid Buying Your Kentia Palm from a Garden Center

The health of your Kentia Palm is essential for its overall beauty and ability to thrive. The care it receives both before and after you bring it home is critical. While garden centers might offer a lower price, their plants might not have been well-tended or free from pests. Therefore, it's best to buy from a trusted and reputable grower who can provide the pick of the litter.

When you buy plants from a garden center, you might be getting a plant that has been watered and treated the same as every other plant in the store, regardless of its specific needs. Kentia Palms, for instance, cannot tolerate overwatering. When they receive too much water from the store's hose, their health can slowly start to decline.

Another problem with buying plants from a garden center is transporting them. The process of getting the plant into your car and taking it home can be stressful for the plant, particularly if you're using the car's air conditioning or heater. Environmental stress can be harmful to plants, and it can take time for them to recover.

To ensure the health and vitality of your Kentia Palm, it's best to buy from a supplier that specializes in these plants. They'll know precisely how to care for them and transport them safely to your home. The initial cost may be higher, but in the long run, it's worth it. You'll save both money and energy, and you'll be able to enjoy a beautiful, healthy plant for years to come.

The 10 All-Time Best Botanical Gardens
Huntington Botanical Garden, Pasadena CA

Photo Courtesy Orchid Digest

The U.S. has no shortage of beautiful outdoor spaces, but for a dose of tranquility and inspiration (not to mention a dreamy picnic spot!), we think that botanical gardens offer a truly special experience.

Because they’re frequently located in urban areas, botanical gardens are able to make the full spectrum of nature’s beauty accessible and offer us a glimpse into environments we might otherwise never see. (Where else but at a botanical garden could you find a desert landscape of cacti and succulents, and a water garden complete with lotuses and turtles!) Additionally, many botanical gardens in the US have put extra care into physical accessibility, which means that these outdoors spaces can be enjoyed by people with limited mobility- and that level of accessibility can be hard to come by in other public spaces and preserves, where paths are often less well-tended and accessibility-friendly landscape architecture is less common.

We’ve rounded up the very best of the best big botanical gardens in the US for this list. But if these far-flung locations are a bit outside your stomping ground, you still have a tremendous bouquet of options! There are so many local gardens across our country, both big and small, and all can offer a wonderful way to spend a day in contemplation and wonder with family and friends.

Bohemian spaces are at their best with ample, vibrant greenery. Stylings by @theweekendmixologist

Whether you’re inclined toward a neutral, earthy palette or a rich array of vibrant color, your design dreams are in reach. The one thing that successful bohemian spaces can’t do without? You guessed it: plants. Vibrant, living plants are a mainstay of bohemian decor, and it’s easy to see why: they’re lush, sculptural, and bursting with life. But not every bohemian abode calls for the same leafy greenery, and we’ve curated an array of perfect plants for your pad. Read on to discover enchanting curtains of trailing foliage, palms that brings the vibe of a permanent vacation, and even more leafy options to sparkle in your bohemian space.

schefflera TREE

Luxe, bohemian style doesn’t have to be high-maintenance. With flexible light requirements and a decidedly easy-going watering routine, The Schefflera Tree, or Umbrella Plant, is the definition of a shoo-in. This bountiful statement tree features an iconic canopy of fluttering foliage and is an age-old favorite of the feng shui tradition, legendary for bestowing good fortune, fulfillment and prosperity to its owner by capturing positive chi in its umbrella-shaped fronds. And there’s even more good news: the Schefflera is also a scientifically proven, potent air purifier that converts carbon monoxide to oxygen while removing toxins like benzene and formaldehyde from the air.

Bird Of Paradise

If you’re looking to emulate paradise in your space, the Bird of Paradise is a great way to go about it! These gorgeous statement plants feature enormous foliage, renowned for its bright coloration and trademark feathery splits and frays. Birds of Paradise can grow exceptionally large, but you might be surprised to learn that they’re among the most low-maintenance plants available for indoor spaces. Their needs are simple: direct sunlight (as much as possible!) and occasional light watering, exclusively when their topsoil is dry.

Dracaena Lisa

Towering statement plants are a trademark of bohemian style, and the Dracaena Lisa is emblematic of luxury and abundance. But it gets even better: these sultry beauties are also low-maintenance and genuinely easy to care for. Like a carefree friend that’s always happy to come along for the ride, the Dracaena Lisa is laid-back and flexible. Tolerant of varied light, Dracaena Lisas seem to thrive effortlessly, and require water only sparingly, when their topsoil is dry to the touch. With a tall and slender structure, their deep, emerald foliage makes the Dracaena Lisa an instantly mysterious, rich focal point. 

Zanzibar Gem

Dreamy texture: the Zanzibar Gem is an ideal plant variety for bohemian spaces, with long, slim wands of luscious foliage. Available in a wide variety of sizes, Zanzibar Gems evoke a tropical aesthetic and can thrive even in very low light. They’re a great plant from corner or hallway placement, and can maintain beautiful health where many other plants cannot. If you need a gorgeous plant that is just as content to dance in the shadows as it is to bask in light, the Zanzibar Gem is it.

Ficus Audrey Tree

For greenery that defines elegance and nuance, the coveted Ficus Audrey the gold standard. Serene and romantic, the Ficus Audrey Tree features a graceful, slim trunk and a canopy of delicate, spade-shaped foliage.The Ficus Audrey Tree requires bright, indirect sunlight to thrive, and is native to India and Pakistan. Also known as the Banyan Tree, rumor has it that Buddha attained enlightenment while meditating beneath a Ficus Audrey. And if that makes you picture a towering tree, you’d be right! The Ficus Audrey can grow quickly with appropriate care, and have been known to even exceed 100 feet in height in the wild.

Pink Rubber Tree

Color is key to a bohemian look, whether your palette consists of rich sands and grays or is awash in waves of vibrant hues. (We think both approaches are stunning!) Pink Rubber Trees add a gentle splash of rosy tones with variegated foliage in shades of strawberry and jade. Perfect for adding intrigue to sunny spaces, the Pink Rubber Tree brings a natural, elegant ombre coloration to any room, and its pink tones will deepen and brighten with steady light. 

Dracaena Compacta

A laddered canopy of foliage is a wonderful way to inject your space with dimension and sculptural appeal. Enter the Dracaena Compacta: a gorgeous, easy-care statement plant with multiple slender trunks crowned with lush pom-poms of jewel-like, emerald foliage. Because of their slim structure and laddered formation, Dracaena Compactas are ideal for corner placement. They thrive in medium light and require little attention to flourish, needing water only when their topsoil is dry to the touch. 

monstera deliciosa

The Monstera Deliciosa defines wild beauty with sculptural, textured foliage, and is prized for its ability to grow abundantly. This large Philodendron variety is low maintenance and adaptable to medium light. If you’re looking for a cheerful and energetic burst of color, the Monstera Deliciosa hits the spot. Just gazing at a Monstera is sure to boost your mood, and watching them grow is a wonder. Enchanted by the vents and splits and their leaves? You can get even more by placing your Monstera in a bright, sunny spot. Water sparingly and your Monstera will reward you with generous (even rapid!) growth.

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

Possibly the most downright envied statement tree on the scene, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree is a seamless addition to luxurious, bohemian spaces. With large, violin-shaped leaves and a tall, slender trunk, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree is a breathtaking tree for owners with some plant experience. Fiddles require a light touch to thrive and should not be overwatered, but once you familiarize yourself with your tree’s needs, the reward cannot be overstated. A Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree’s sprawling canopy of gorgeous foliage, aglow in afternoon light, is a sight you won’t soon forget.

ponytail palm

If your environment is blessed with a super-bright spot (maybe where your cat’s always napping, or where your cacti soak up the sun) then congratulations! You’ve identified the perfect place for a charming and energetic new Ponytail Palm. These lushly textured floor plants are from the Agave family, so you know what they want: plenty of light and very little water! Their thick trunks hold moisture, so Ponytail Palms are truly a plant you can set and forget. They typically need water every two weeks or less.

The 10 Best Plants For A Romantic Space

A romantic style of interior design and decor can be tricky to do well. After all, you are looking to create a dreamy, comfortable and evocative space, not a room filled with doilies and dried roses. And the romantic aesthetic has never been more popular: from Regency (Hello, Bridgerton!) to bohemian looks, to the sleek and glossy romance of the early aughts, there are many interior style paths that can lead to a stunning, romantic impression. But they all have one thing in common: a vivid, fresh dimension of living greenery. Gorgeous statement plants are timeless, and they may just be the one decor item that is truly non-negotiable. Luckily, nature provides. So read on, and get to know the ten absolute best plants to enhance your romantic space!

Ficus Audrey Tree

What do you think of when you think of Audrey? Us too! Epitomizing grace, effortless style and romance, the Ficus Audrey Tree is a superstar in the world of indoor greenery. With a slim, gracious trunk and a gentle canopy of vibrantly hued, spade-shaped foliage, the Ficus Audrey is a serene and stately floor plant. Not to be overshadowed, the Ficus Audrey Tree will thrive in a prized spot in your home that receives bright, indirect sunlight. Native to India and Pakistan, the Ficus Audrey is also known as the Banyan Tree, and has natural air-purifying properties. If you’re looking for a tree that will attain great heights, the Ficus Audrey is a wonderful choice: they can grow quickly when well-cared for, and have been known to grow as tall as 100 feet in the wild!

Pink Rubber Plant

Add a touch of enchanting pink tones with the gently variegated Pink Rubber Plant. Ideal as a centerpiece, or to accent a coffee table or vanity, the Pink Rubber Plant boasts foliage in hues of strawberry and mint. This ornamental ficus is a seamless way to add spellbinding tie-dye coloration to a space, and as with the Rubber Tree, its pink tones will brighten and deepen with steady natural light. 

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

If you’re the sort that never settles, especially when it comes to feathering your nest, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree should be at the top of your list. Talk about the best of the best: Fiddle Leaf Fig Trees are the most envy-inducing statement tree on the market. From the crisp pages of Architectural Digest to the homes of your most discerning friends, it’s likely that you have seen a Fiddle in situ before. But nothing compares to buying your own Fiddle and watching it flourish. Elegant, violin shaped foliage and a sky-high, slender trunk make this plant the pinnacle of modern romance. Be prepared to lavish your Fiddle with love in the form of ample bright, indirect light. But when it comes to water: play a little hard to get. If you baby your Fiddle with too-frequent waterings, it may scorn you and drop leaves. But treat it with a light touch, and it will dazzle you with gorgeous foliage and health.

King Of Hearts Anthurium

Sometimes you can’t go wrong with a classic. That adage is especially true when you need a pop of crimson color (who doesn't?) to brighten the palette of your space. Look no further than the King of Hearts Anthurium: nature’s answer to the heart-shaped box. With ruby-toned, spade-shaped blossoms, this flowering plant is energetic and playful, but elegant enough to be placed in any room. A successful romantic aesthetic is like viewing your world through rose-colored glasses: it makes the everyday more enchanting, and brings an element of pleasure to well-trod spaces. And with the resilient King of Hearts Anthurium, your pleasure garden can blossom year-round. That’s right! This plant can blossom all year long.

Zanzibar Gem

The definition of lush: the Zanzibar Gem is a luxurious, tropical jewel of a statement plant and is perfect for floor placement. With slender wands of luscious foliage, Zanzibar Gems add an element of graceful height to spaces with varied light. They grow best in spots that receive a good amount of indirect sunlight, but are highly adaptable, so they’re also a safe option for environments that are a bit dark (and mysterious!). 

Sunshine Calandiva

Playful texture and an abundant cloud of golden yellow blossoms make the Sunshine Calandiva a welcome beam of light for any space. Their note of touchable, soft blooms is perfect for illuminating areas that are otherwise spare- or you can add them to an eclectic palette for an additional burst of color and lacey allure. Calandivas are a succulent variety that will produce ample flowers year-round with appropriate light and care.

Dracaena Compacta

For another dose of gorgeous texture, a Dracaena Compacta is ideal. Their laddered structure means that you get a ton of bang for your buck: multiple slender, tactile trunks topped with vibrant pom-poms of dense, emerald foliage. Dracaena Compactas are perfect for corner placement: a rare feature that should never be overlooked. And because they do thrive in medium light, there’s no need for special care. They were made to dazzle and require little attention, requiring water only when their topsoil is dry to the touch.

Queen Of Spades Anthurium

Again, we come back to the old adage: say it with flowers! Another effortless flowering variety, the Queen Of Spades Anthurium is the natural consort of the King of Hearts. Gorgeous, heart-shaped leaves and snowy white blossoms crown this easy-care ornamental plant, which is perfectly content to bloom year-round when well cared for. Place it in a spot that receives ample light, and count how many blossoms your Queen provides! 

Rubber Tree

Intrigue and sultry coloration unite in the gorgeous Rubber Tree. With film-noir appeal and super-glossy, large leaves, the Rubber Tree is a little bit mysterious, and entirely charming. Its foliage features a palette of deep emerald and vibrant scarlet tones that are instantly evocative and, of course, romantic. Place a Rubber Tree in a spot that receives plenty of indirect sun, and its red hues will shine bright: Rubber Trees produce that crimson hue in accordance with the amount of light their leaves receive.

Dracaena Lisa

There’s nothing more romantic than perching beneath a towering curtain of foliage. For an unforgettable statement, the Dracaena Lisa is a perfect choice. Naturally slender and tall, they’re also exceptionally easy to care for. Healthy plants are paramount for successful interior design, and a Dracaena Lisa is ideal in this regard. They are truly low-maintenance, adjustable and require water only when their topsoil is dry to the touch. All reasons that Dracaena Lisas get our vote of confidence, not to mention the fact that they’re beautifully textured and deeply colorful

Now that you’ve selected your plants, learn all you need to know about these gorgeous, romantic varieties of greenery! Information on how to care for the plants listed above, as well as guidance for troubleshooting common plant care issues, is all available at La Residence.

The 10 Best Plants For A Modern Space

Styling a modern space can be challenging, we know! When you consider that modern spaces often hinge on a “less is more” aesthetic, that can mean that extra consideration and care goes into every piece of decor you use. The modern style is typically clutter-free, with streamlined decor, a neutral palette, and well-considered pops of color. And when it comes to adding greenery, there are additional considerations like care requirements, overall appearance and lighting needs. But selecting a perfect plant for your modern style doesn’t have to be a herculean task! We have selected the absolute best plants for modern spaces based on a few simple tenets: a gorgeous look, easy-care disposition and flexible light requirements. Read on to learn more!

Dracaena Lisa

The ideal statement floor plant needs to pack a punch. An unforgettable plant for a modern space will feature lots of lush foliage, towering height, and will always look healthy. That’s why the Dracaena Lisa is one of the very best options for a modern look. They are naturally quite tall (up to six and a half feet!) and because they are a genuinely easy-care indoor variety, keeping them in tip-top shape is simple. They can tolerate low light, need watering only when their topsoil is dry, and rarely require special care. Done and dusted!

Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

If you’re looking for a dose of absolute elegance, the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree is a shoo-in. You’ve probably seen these gorgeous trees in the glossy pages of interior design magazines- or even in photos of well-considered spaces from the 1970s-80s. The history of the Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree, or Ficus lyrata, is rich- and so is its aesthetic. Be prepared for a glorious diva of a statement plant that will require ample bright, indirect light and some special attention. Fiddles are well worth the extra devotion and care, but can be best for owners with moderate plant care experience. Still, you’d be hard pressed to find a more iconic plant for a modern space.

Bird of Paradise

We think it’s a given that any modern space needs a Bird of Paradise. Immediately cheerful, this gentle giant brings plenty of texture and height to enliven streamlined spaces. Their vibrant coloration adds a pop of color to neutral palettes and modern furnishings, and creates a natural focal point. The best news of all? They’re beyond low-maintenance. They require direct sun (as much as possible!) but beyond that, all they need is light watering when their topsoil is dry. A perfect statement plant for the modern aesthete on the go.

Monstera Deliciosa

If you’re looking to add living sculpture to an artful space, the Monstera Deliciosa should be at the top of your list! Perfect for adding intrigue and texture to spaces with minimalist decor (or for imbuing a playful space with a pop-art punch!) the Monstera Deliciosa is having a moment. But don’t worry, it’s popularity is well-earned: and we think that the Monstera’s status as a covetable it-plant is here to stay. After all, they’re incredibly easy to care for, grow abundantly, and have some of the most enchanting foliage we’ve ever seen! Your mood will be boosted every time your eyes come to rest on an abundant Monstera- and it’s easy to keep them in thriving good health. They’re adaptable to medium, indirect light, and need water only sparingly.

Bird’s Nest Fern

If you’re considering a humidity-loving jewel of a plant for your stylish bathroom, look no further than the Bird’s Nest Fern. Modern bathrooms are often neutral, and adding some texture can work wonders for illuminating the overall aesthetic of the space. Talk about leafy goodness: the Bird’s Nest Fern’s iconic, quill-shaped foliage adds an instant dose of enchanting, lush texture, and with their tropical origins, they adore the additional moisture that bathrooms receive.

Calathea Rattlesnake

Need some intriguing color for your Tulip Table? The Calathea Rattlesnake is here to save the day for your Saarinen! Featuring super-vibrant, fluttery foliage in shades of emerald and burgundy, this easy-care medium plant was made to dazzle on modern surfaces. This tropical variety prefers bright, indirect light, but it’s also adaptable to shady areas.

Dracaena Compacta

Do put this baby in a corner. Corners are often overlooked when styling a room, but they’re so much more than dust-collectors. All they need is a little green! And the Dracaena Compacta is a dream plant for corner placement. Featuring a laddered aesthetic, with playful pom-poms of lush, wild foliage, Dracaena Compactas have charm to spare. And because they do perfectly well with medium light, you don’t need to worry that they’ll languish in a previously unsung corner. They were practically made for that spot!

Pilea Peperomiodes

Enter the space-age: if you’re looking for kinetic appeal and a sense of play, the Pilea Peperomiodes is the plant variety for you. With flying-saucer foliage and a lush structure of stems, the Pilea easily injects charm and an artful, sculptural attitude into any space. Perfect for shelves and coffee tables, the Pilea will thrive near a window that receives bright, indirect light.

Snake Plant

The Snake Plant is a gold standard for a reason: these low-maintenance beauties have gorgeous variegation on their slender blades, achieve stunning height, and are natural air purifiers. Set a Snake Plant anywhere you want to add a bit of effortless style, and enjoy their mood-boosting properties (as well as their renowned reputation for bringing their owners good fortune)!

King of Hearts Anthurium

If your space’s palette is a mix of muted tones, the King of Hearts Anthurium is just what you need: a lively and enchanting pop of color that’s perfect for tabletop placement. We guarantee that you’ve never seen a crimson quite this vibrant- and the spade shape of their blooms is immediately Mid-Century (think poker cards, tiki bars, and Lewis-Carroll style charm).

Now that you’ve selected your plants, it’s time to set yourself up for success! Information on how to care for the plant varieties above, as well as guidance for troubleshooting common plant care issues, is all available at La Residence.

What You Need To Know Before You Buy A Bird Of Paradise

Shopping for a new Bird of Paradise to grace your home or patio should be a joy, not hard work. But the truth is that purchasing any new houseplant can be tricky. After all, this is no ordinary piece of a decor: a statement plant is a living, breathing centerpiece for your space. It’s worth it to do it right- but buying a new Bird of Paradise doesn’t have to be a chore! It all comes down to knowing what to expect from your plant, and what to look for as you shop. So read on, because we’re here to fill you in on everything you need to know before you buy a new Bird of Paradise!

Your Bird Of Paradise Will Need Bright, Direct Light

Birds of Paradise love direct sunlight. It’s one of the reasons that they are such a prominent and popular plant for outdoor spaces in the sunniest locales: they are happiest when placed in spots that receive bright sunshine. And although they flourish in full sun, they also appreciate a bit of light diffusion, like most plants. Long story short: the sunniest spot in your home or yard is likely a great spot for your Bird of Paradise! If you have questions about the lighting your Bird of Paradise will need, everything you need to know about lighting requirements is available in our light guide. It’s an easy read, and a great resource!

Your Bird Of Paradise Can Grow Big And Fast

Birds of Paradise are the go-to statement plant if you’re looking for impressive overall size. Towering height, a full, gorgeous canopy: Birds of Paradise have it all. Your Bird of Paradise can grow fast with sufficient light, so if you’re looking for a plant that will consistently push out new foliage and create a breathtaking focal point, a Bird of Paradise might just be the perfect plant for you.

Now, Where To Place That Bird Of Paradise?

If you have your heart set on a Bird of Paradise, knowing where to put it is paramount. Consider its needs: it requires ample, bright sun, as we have mentioned, but what about that expansive canopy? You’d be selling the incredible aesthetic of your Bird of Paradise short by squishing it against a wall, and its large, quill-shaped foliage would not thank you for it. Plan on placing your Bird of Paradise in a sunny spot that is roomy enough for the plant to spread as it grows and worships the sun. A helpful hint: expect your Bird of Paradise’s diameter to be about as wide as the plant is tall.

Birds Of Paradise Have Wild Foliage

You have probably noticed that the foliage of a Bird of Paradise is singularly beautiful: huge, for one thing, but also fluttery, feathery and frayed. This is normal! Bird of Paradise leaves naturally create splits, frays and coils as they grow. This is an evolutionary feature, adapted by the plant to allow its foliage to dance in the wind, rather than be damaged by gusts. These splits and frays will occur whether your Bird of Paradise is placed indoors or outdoors, so expect it from the outset. We think that these imperfections are perfect- and they’re definitely perfectly natural! But if you don’t like wild leaves, you might want to try a plant with more straightforward foliage. A Rubber Tree, perhaps.

Your Bird Of Paradise Will Need only Light Watering

Birds of Paradise are conveniently drought-resistant. Sounds wonderful, right? It is! But it also necessitates a certain amount of self-control. We all love to baby our plants, but it is very important not to overwater your Bird of Paradise. That means that instead of dousing it whenever you fancy, you should be probing its soil for moisture once weekly, and watering only when its top two inches of soil are dry to the touch.

….But Its Watering Needs Will Vary By Season

One of the fun things about plants is that they’re just like us! Well, kind of. If the sun is beating down like a congo drum and you’re regularly reaching for a cold drink, it’s likely the time of year when your Bird of Paradise may also need a little more water than usual. The opposite also applies: in deep midwinter, when it’s hard to force ourselves to get our daily recommended liters of water, your Bird of Paradise may also require a bit less. The good news: you don’t have to guess. Just stick your finger down two inches into your Bird of Paradise’s soil once a week, and water only when dry.

How To Select A Healthy, Gorgeous Bird of Paradise

No matter where you purchase your Bird of Paradise from, it’s important to go with a supplier that you trust. Do a little research- it’s actually fun! Trustworthy vendors and shops will have positive reviews and helpful, knowledgeable customer service providers. If you decide to buy your Bird of Paradise from a retail shop, check the plants you’re considering for signs of browning foliage, sticky sap, and insects. If the plant appears stressed or unhealthy, it’s not the one for you.

Avoid Purchasing Your Bird Of Paradise From A Garden Center

Getting the lowest price for any purchase is tempting, but it’s not always the best choice- especially when it comes to living plants. Without strong relationships with growers and a high standard for quality, the plants offered by garden centers may have an appealing price tag, but no guarantee of a pest- free, healthy plant.

Additionally, you can’t control how your plant is treated while it’s at the garden center or retail store. Because all plant varieties have different requirements for things like light, water, and plant food, a one-size-fits-all approach is convenient for the store, but dangerous for the health and appearance of the plant.

Have you ever noticed that the nursery section of home improvement stores, garden centers and other retail locations has lots of bugs? We have too- and that is not ideal for plants. And once an insect-infested plant is in your home, there is a significant risk of the insects migrating from your new plant to the other plants in your space. Talk about something to avoid at all costs- eradicating bugs can be a time-consuming and stressful process. Save yourself a world of trouble by buying your new Bird of Paradise from a supplier that you trust. Plants that are nurtured lovingly from the start are set up for success for years to come.

How To Select The Right Size Of Bird Of Paradise

With this one, the ball is really in your court! If you are looking for a tree-sized statement plant to illuminate an entire room with vibrancy, you can’t go wrong with an extra large Bird of Paradise of five feet or more. If you’re wondering if a Bird of Paradise that large will continue to grow, well, the answer is yes! Birds of Paradise can reach ten feet in the wild, and although that would be unusual in a domestic environment, you can expect gorgeous growth from any well-cared for Bird of Paradise.

If that sounds a little too large for you, opt for a Bird of Paradise of three to four feet. Birds of Paradise of this size are still statuesque and lovely- and their aesthetic impact is still dazzling. But you may find that your options for placement are more varied if you select a smaller plant. And again, your Bird of Paradise will grow!

Even The Healthiest Birds Of Paradise Can Experience Stress From Time To Time

Plenty of people have had experience with plants that just didn’t seem happy, and usually the issue is significantly easier to identify and treat than you’d think. Most issues with Birds of Paradise come down to a simple case of overwatering or insufficient light. At Leon and George, we offer lifetime Plant Doctor support to every customer that purchases a plant from us. That means that we have a team of master gardeners on staff to assess any issues, suggest care adjustments, and guide you in your plant parenthood. You never have to go it alone! And you can start on strong, green footing, because we have fun, detailed articles on plant care, styling and more available twenty-four hours a day at La Residence.
