Bird of Paradise

Alidonne

Hi all

i bought a bird of paradise at the Eden project in Sept 17 when it was quite small. I reported it into a 40cm pot but I recently noticed it was lopsided and has needed lots of water. It lives in my living room by a south facing window. I have put up some tissue paper as a temp measure to protect it ( and my orchids) from the full sun as it can be quite ferocious here in Wales!!!😂😂

Anyway. I repotted the BOP yesterday into a larger container and would like to try and leave it outside over the summer months. Would this kill it?  I don’t intend repotting again for some time now as it’s already the same height as me ( a little over 5 ft)

many thanks

I've always put mine outside for the summer and it's been fine, although I've left it indoors for the first time this year because I've potted it on into a pot that's too heavy for me to move!
