Tropical Tandem

Tropical Paradise

Want to make a serious statement? This is it. This Bird of Paradise is a showstopper with those massive, sculptural leaves that instantly transform any room into something extraordinary. We've paired it with a lightly variegated Philodendron Minima climbing gracefully alongside and Marble Pothos cascading at the base. This is more than an arrangement, it's a complete tropical installation that gives you drama, height, and layers of gorgeous foliage.

Here's what makes this combination brilliant: the Bird of Paradise creates that bold, architectural presence with leaves that can reach impressive sizes as it matures. The Philodendron Minima adds its own stunning split-leaf beauty as it climbs upward, while the Marble Pothos provides that satisfying cascade of cream and green variegation. As they grow together, this arrangement becomes more spectacular. In six months, you'll have larger leaves and longer trails. In a year, this will be an absolute statement piece that dominates the room in the best possible way—and if conditions are right, your Bird of Paradise might even reward you with those iconic flowers.

The Premium Details:

Your plants arrive in our sleek white Hamilton planter—German-engineered fibreglass that looks like premium ceramic but weighs practically nothing and won't crack. We've potted everything in our signature soil blend enriched with worm castings, giving these beauties the nutrition they need to produce those magnificent leaves.

You'll also get a Sustee water meter. When it turns white, you water. When it's blue, you don't. Done.

Dimensions: Approximately 180cm (H) x 60cm (W)

New to Plants? We've Got You Covered:

Despite their dramatic looks, these plants are surprisingly manageable. Bird of Paradise likes bright light and tolerates a bit of neglect. The Philodendron Minima and Marble Pothos are equally easygoing. Our soil blend handles the nutrition, and the Sustee takes the stress out of watering.

When we deliver (free anywhere on Waiheke), we'll find the perfect bright spot for it and walk you through everything. You'll get a printed care guide, and you're covered by our 30-day plant health guarantee—if anything isn't thriving, we'll make it right.

Pricing: $1,099, or ask us about our rent-to-own option if you'd love this but want to spread the cost.

Bird of Paradise plants are iconic for a reason—they're the kind of plant people remember. This is three premium plants working together to create maximum impact. As it matures, the Bird of Paradise will produce even larger, more dramatic leaves, and the entire arrangement will increase in presence and value. Because we've set it up properly from day one with quality soil and the right companions, you get that high-end tropical resort look without the tropical resort maintenance.
