The Bird of Paradise is an easy-going plant, it thrives in bright indirect light to full sun when acclimated. Not suited for low light conditions. 
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. Pro tip: Birds of Paradise can benefit from filtered water or water left out overnight before using.
The growers pot will be covered with a lined woven basket.
