I've grown two Birds of Paradise from seeds. They are exactly one year old
and are growing well indoors and producing new leaves. The plants are,
however, quite root-bound, and I'm wondering if they should be potted up or
do they prefer to be cramped?

I would appreciate any advice on getting these plants to flower
successfully.

Many thanks.


From seed, they take several years to reach flowering size, and while
it's said that being pot bound encourages flowering, I would think
that at this stage you need to keep potting them on until you get them
into something like 8 or 12 inch pots.
