Hi MAhe,

Bird of paradiseis a easy to grow crop in garden. It exhibits a slow growing habit forming clump plant and grows well in sunny to semi shaded areas. It is wind resistant but sensitive to cold temperature.
The plant is propagated through division of clumps, seeds and tissue culture. Under natural circumstances the birds pollinate the flowers. germination is a slow process, takes 1-2 months, so commercially propagated through divisions.
Clump divisions flower faster. Best planting season is during monsoon, August- sep.
Bird of paradise responds well to INM. Application of 110:35:70kg of NPK/ha/year plus 50% of FYM in 4 splits JAn, April, JUly and oct enhances growth.
A four year old [plant produces approximately 42 spikes per plant per year.
