Birds of Paradise, Strelitzia reginae, will thrive in well-draining soil. This soil mixture includes a balance of peat moss, perlite, and lime. Peat moss is great for water retention and nutrient retention to soil. It is also a great source of organic matter that will degrade slowly over time to feed your soil. Perlite has excellent drainage capabilities. Lime is used primarily for its ability to balance soil pH levels.
Other USES This potting soil would also be suitable for Red Chinese Evergreen plants, Magenta Madagascar Dragon Tree plants, or ZZ plant.
TIP: Birds of Paradise enjoy moist (but not soggy) soil, and being allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. Try not to let the soil dry completely through the pot, but also avoid overwatering. Allow the top 2-3 inches of the soil to become dry between waterings, but below that, it should remain moist.
Ingredients: Peat moss, perlite, and lime
