Yes, the stem dies, but so many babies are produced.

You’re welcome 😉

Bird-of-Paradise can live 150 plus years.

Bird-of-paradise is an extremely common plant in all the lower elevations of California. It’s planted everywhere and is very common as a median plant. It’s so widely used because it never needs water (although, it looks better with some water).

 

We’re used to it being warm to hot here in inland San Diego, most of the year. When daytime temps go below 72 degrees (22 c), we’re freezing.

 

It’s going to stay in a pot for a while. I see so many thousands of longan trees here in San Diego, and they very large. I have not room. I just saw a beautiful lychee tree yesterday. It was probably 12 ft tall, but had a very big width and circumference.

 

Yes, it’s native to mountains in the tropics where there’s lots of rain all year.

 

I’ve started one from a cutting. I’m going to start more.
