Best Orange Statement Plant: Bird of Paradise

How to care for a bird of paradise houseplant in fall:

You'll likely see these incredible statement plants growing tall in places like South East Asia. You're not going to see the stunning orange flowers in Fall, but start by growing these now, and set your plant up to start throwing orange, bird shaped blooms once the flowering season hits!

Best Fall Light For Bird of Paradise:

 These babies need a fair bit of sunlight, so you want to place your Bird of Paradise in a corner or by a window with bright, indirect light. If you start to see it getting a bit leggy, or the leaves staying really small, it might be a sign that it's not getting enough light. 

How To Water Bird of Paradise in Fall:

 overwatering is the key fall killer for Birds of Paradise plants. Only water your plant when you notice that the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Add Grow Concentrate houseplant food to the water, every time you water your plant. 

What Humidity Do Birds of Paradise Need in Fall?

 Honestly, many will say that this plant needs a humidifier throughout fall, but it's never something we have used and all of our Bird of Paradise plants have been fine! As long as the watering and light requirements are met, this potted houseplant can stay pretty resilient! 

Bird of Paradise Tip: Rotate your pot every 3-4 weeks to keep it growing evenly and staying straight!

Best Orange Flowering Plant: Clivia

How to care for a Clivia plant in fall:

This is a plant that is common, but not widely found in a budding houseplant parent's collection. In our opinion, the Clivia is an A+ houseplant. We just love the incredible organge trumpet like flowers and the long leaves. Plus, if you care for your Clivia now, you'll start seeing blooms in winter - so it brightens up the season!

Best Fall Light For Clivias:

 Avoids direct sunlight if the weather is still warm (we're looking at you, Texas and Florida!) It's a good idea to keep your Clivia plants in a place with bright, indirect or filtered light. Move it away from windows during period of strong light, because it can scorch the leaves. 

How To Water Clivias in Fall:

 If you have grown Clivias before, you'll know that they prefer to stay pretty dry. The best bit? Watering your Clivias sparingly will actually encourage it to keep flowering through winter. Therefore, we recommend letting the soil completely dry out, and then giving it a really good drink with Grow Concentrate added to the water. 

What's The Best Fertilizer For Clivias?

 Using We the Wild's organic plant food bundle all year round will help to nurture your Clivia, and help it live it's best live, even in winter!

Clivia Tip: cooler temperatures also encourage Clivias to bloom, so don't worry about humidity and temperature control as the weather gets cooler!

Best For Striking Orange Leaves: Croton

How to care for a Croton plant in fall:

We are absolutely obsessed with the Croton plants' insanely colored leaves. Who needs flowers when you've got instantly bright, vivid oranges, yellows and reds in the foliage! Beware though, Croton plants can be a bit tricky when it comes to caring for them in fall. 

Best Fall Light For Crotons:

 if you're noticing that the colors of your Croton is starting to fade, it's a sign that it's not getting enough light. Make sure you're giving this orange babe plenty of bright, indirect light. 

How To Water Crotons in Fall:

 This can be a bit tricky because Crotons are used to growing in free draining, rich and biodiverse soil. It means that they like to be consistently moist, but not soggy. Stick your finger in the soil; if the top inch feels dry, you need to give it a drink. 

How To Protect Crotons In Fall:

 these plants need to have their resilience built to make it through colder seasons. Use our Enrich Powder frequently to improve the plant's ability to handle abiotic stress, and build resilient roots. 

Croton Tip: these plants don’t like change! Once you have found the perfect plant home indoors, try to avoid moving them around. Make sure you monitor your Croton once it's been moved, and keep an eye out for falling leaves!

Can you keep fertilizing these plants in fall?

You should stop using NPK chemical fertilizers, and make the switch to organic plant food that is formulated specifically for potted plants. We the Wild's organic plant food bundle is a great option because you can keep using it all year round, and it will work WITH these plant's natural function, rather than against them.
