There are three methods for obtaining the perfect Bird of Paradise. Two ways, growing or buying one, result in following a long regimen of do's and don'ts which if not followed will result in expensive dissatisfaction. The third is opting for this faux 5-foot-tall Bird of Paradise which needs little to no personal oversight or care. Bring home the 60-inch-tall tree with large variegated green leaves sprouting from an upright stalk set into its own plastic container and simply take it out of the box and place it where it dresses up your home or office. Easy, peasy. The colors will not fade and no water ever needed - a no muss, no fuss friend in your personal paradise for life. If you want, give a thought to swapping the plastic container for a dressier one of your own choosing.
