Bird of Paradise (small sizes)

Strelitzia nicolai

Aptly named for the phenomenal flowers that look like a tropical bird! This plant has sizeable green leaves, and is often confused with banana plants. Can easily grow over ten feet indoors, this is a low-maintenance that enjoys consistent watering and bright light. 

They grow pretty steadily in the growing season (spring/summer) and with proper care and adequate light will grow to several feet in no time!
