When is the best time to divide my bird of paradise plant?

💡 Our Advice
You can propagate Strelitzia by splitting or dividing the clump in the spring. Remove any old or damaged leaves and dead flower stalks. Repot the divisions into smaller pots in a peat-based multipurpose potting compost and water well to settle the compost.
