Not every room can take a towering statement plant — this one delivers all the tropical drama at a size that fits. Standing at 160cm, this Bird of Paradise carries the same architectural presence as its taller counterpart, with broad, richly textured leaves radiating outward on tall, gently curved stems that catch the light beautifully from every angle.
The leaves are the whole story here. Deep green, generously sized, with natural vein detailing and subtle variation in tone from leaf to leaf — nothing uniform, nothing flat. It's the kind of lush, oversized foliage that instantly reads as tropical and fills a space without overwhelming it.
Arrives secure in a sturdy black nursery pot for transit — pot not included, so you can choose the finish that suits your space. At 160cm it's the versatile choice — full enough to be a genuine focal point, compact enough to work in rooms with standard ceiling heights or where a 180cm tree would feel too tall.

✨
Zero maintenance
No watering, no dropped leaves, no sunlight required. Looks exactly the same in year ten as it does on day one.
Perfect for
Living room corners and empty walls that need height without dominating the space. Entryways and hallways with standard ceiling heights. Home offices, bedrooms and studies looking for a tropical accent that fits comfortably. Any room where 180cm would feel like a stretch but you still want that lush, oversized look.
Styling tip — Give the leaves room to spread naturally rather than pressing them against a wall — the fanned silhouette is the whole effect. After unboxing, gently bend each stem and leaf outward to open up the canopy; a few minutes of shaping makes a dramatic difference. Pair with warm white, linen or cream walls to let the deep green tones stand out, and layer with a smaller faux olive or fiddle fig nearby for a lush, jungle-inspired corner.
Pot sizing. Pot not included. For a 160cm bird of paradise we recommend a pot 28–34cm in diameter and 30–36cm tall. A round white ridged ceramic or smooth fibrestone pot — as shown — is the classic pairing. Browse our pots and vases collection.
