Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Strelitzia Nicolai bloom indoors? Yes, but it requires patience — expect several years under good light conditions. Once mature, it can produce its large spectacular white flowers even indoors, provided it gets enough natural light.
Why are the leaves of my Alocasia drooping? It’s almost always due to lack of water — Alocasia droops its leaves as a thirst signal. Water generously and they will straighten up within a few hours. If they remain droopy after watering, check that the roots are not suffocating from excess water.

🌿 2 complementary XXL tropical plants • 🪴 2 natural Selin baskets included • 🎨 Spectacular and imposing foliage • ☀️ Bright light to partial shade • 💧 Regular watering
This XXL tropical pack brings together two spectacular plants with imposing foliage: the Strelitzia Nicolai (Giant Bird of Paradise) with large structured dark green leaves, native to South Africa, and the Alocasia Macrorrhiza (Giant Elephant Ear) with monumental heart-shaped leaves, native to Southeast Asia. Two origins, two silhouettes, one majestic tropical composition.
The pack includes 2 natural fiber Selin baskets suitable for Ø19 cm pots — ready to install for an immediate decorative effect. Discover it in our selection of large indoor plants and in our tropical collection.
The 2 plants in this pack
Two tropical plants with complementary personalities, chosen to highlight each other:
- Strelitzia Nicolai (Giant Bird of Paradise) — H85 cm | Pot Ø19 cm — large structured dark green leaves, elegant vertical habit. Adds height and structure.
- Alocasia Macrorrhiza (Giant Elephant Ear) — H70 cm | Pot Ø19 cm — monumental shiny green heart-shaped leaves, imposing upright habit. Adds width and presence.
Why this duo? The structured verticality of the Strelitzia and the lush width of the Alocasia create an immediate visual balance — two plants that complement without competing.
Light & location
These two plants appreciate bright indirect light — the Strelitzia needs more than the Alocasia, which tolerates partial shade better. Allow plenty of space: their leaves need room to fully spread.
- Light: bright indirect to partial shade, no prolonged direct sunlight.
- Ideal: large living room, spacious entrance, bright office, or veranda.
- Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden changes or drafts.
- Substrate: rich, light, and well-draining — potting soil for green plants with perlite.
Arrange them as an offset duo rather than aligned — the height difference (85 cm vs 70 cm) creates a more dynamic and natural composition.
Watering & care
Both plants have similar water needs — water them on the same day while checking each substrate. The complete watering guide will help you find the right rhythm for large plants.
- Watering: regular — keep the substrate slightly moist without soaking.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: essential — use pots with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
- Humidity: prefers 50 to 70% humidity — occasionally mist the leaves.
- Fertilizer: every 2 to 4 weeks in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Cleaning: gently wipe large leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their shine.
Alocasia leaves droop when thirsty — a reliable signal. Water and they will straighten up within a few hours.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
With their XXL tropical foliage and natural Selin baskets, this duo instantly creates a majestic urban jungle atmosphere.
- In combination: add a Monstera deliciosa or a Philodendron to complete the tropical composition by playing with different heights.
- Baskets included: the natural Selin baskets add a bohemian and natural touch that enhances the slender trunks of both plants.
- Ambiance: perfect as a statement duo in a large living room or spacious entrance — two plants are enough to transform an empty space into an urban jungle.
Check out our guide to large indoor plants to integrate this duo into your space.
Verdeia tips
- Repot every 1 to 2 years in spring — large plants exhaust their substrate faster than small ones. When roots come out of the drainage holes, it’s time to repot. See our repotting guide to prepare properly.
- Strelitzia can flower indoors — after several years in good light conditions, it may produce its spectacular white bird-shaped flowers. A reward for the patient.
- Large leaves accumulate dust quickly — wipe both plants with a damp cloth every two weeks. Photosynthesis improves and foliage stays shiny.
- Combine similar needs — these two plants have close watering rhythms, making care easier. Water them together on the same day and they will stay perfectly healthy.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
