My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Mexican bird of paradise in pots

6 years ago

I am in the process of potting four Mexican bird of paradise. Does anyone know the growth rate in a pot versus in the ground? I am planning to use them as a screen in front of my pool equipment.

    I have no working knowledge of that plant in a pot but there are many factors to consider. Pot size being the most important. Plants typically become dwarfed or just don't grow much in pots. I have small trees / shrubs in pots that haven't changed much in years.

    Thanks.
