Strelitzia Nicolai, 1.8m Potted Faux Bird of Paradise

Temporarily unavailable
Sale price$389.00

Sculptural, airy and endlessly fresh, our Strelitzia Nicolai (1.8m) brings resort calm to living rooms, entries and home offices. Eleven broad, banana-style leaves create height and movement, while lightly wired stems let you fan and shape the canopy. It arrives in a weighted starter pot so you can drop it into your favourite planter and finish with moss or stones for an ultra-real look.

Freight: Due to height, shipping can vary by location. Use the pre-order/enquiry button above and we’ll confirm availability and a custom freight quote.

Styling Tips

  • Choose a decorative planter 30 to 36cm diameter to ground the height.
  • Angle a few leaves outward to create a gentle fan; keep one leaf slightly forward for depth.
  • Pair with a console and table lamp or a floor lamp to highlight the silhouette.
  • Layer with a shorter faux plant or ceramic stool for a styled, resort-ready corner.

Care

Dust occasionally with a soft cloth or cool-air hairdryer. Avoid prolonged direct sun to preserve colour.
