Bird of Paradise Fern or Epiphyllum Capense, is a robust, wiry species that grows to about 5 m in height. It was first collected in the Cape of Good Hope by Robert Brown in 1818. The name "Epiphyllum" comes from the Greek epiphyllon (from epi- "upon" and hyllon "wand"), meaning "on a branch." The scientific name, Capense, is derived from the fact that this species was first discovered growing on the cape of the river Cap.
After planting, seedlings tend to grow very fast. They take about 2 years to grow into a mature plant, during which time they should be pruned to encourage a bushier, more stable plant. Remove all flower buds for the next year.
The first set of leaves are on the plant's lower end, and the leaves will gradually taper up towards the top.
One of the best ways to prune bird of paradise is to work with the season. In the spring, prune a third to a half of the plant back to create room for new leaves and the main trunk. In the summer, prune out any growths or leafless branches. From fall to spring, make only minor corrections to remove broken branches and snags.Best Buy CEO reaffirms need for 'investment'
