Relative humidity control is an integral part of insect and fungus prevention and control. Humidity above 80% discourages spider mites but promotes fungus as well as root and stem rot. Humidity levels below 60% reduce the chance of fungus and rot.
Measure relative humidity with a hygrometer. This extremely important instrument will save you and your indoor garden much frustration.

The best relative humidity ranges are as follows :

Cuttings and Seedlings = 80-95%
Vegetative Stage = 60-70%
Flowering Stage = 40-60%

First soak the Bird of Paradise seeds in a bowl of lukewarm water for between 24 and 48 hours. Afterwards, drain the water away and wrap the seeds in a damp paper towel. Place the seeds in a re-sealable plastic bag and store them in your refrigerator for a couple of  weeks.

Remove the seeds from the refrigerator and remove them from the paper towel. Sterilize a sharp knife or razor blade with rubbing alcohol, then use the blade to nick each seed. This technique - called scarification – will allow them to germinate.

Fill small planting pots or a planting tray with a mixture of equal parts moss peat and perlite. Press one seed into each pot or tray section to a depth of 1/2 an inch. Cover the seeds with some more of the compost mix and water until completely moist.

Place clear plastic planting tray covers on the trays. If you used pots, wrap each one with a clear plastic bag or cover the tops with plastic wrap. This helps retain moisture and heat, both of which are needed to get Bird of Paradise seeds to germinate. Place the trays or pots in a warm room with indirect sunlight.

Water the soil regularly to keep it moist while the plants are germinating. Transplant the Bird of Paradise seedlings to larger pots or to a permanent location outdoors after two to three months. If you transplant them outdoors, dig holes as large as the containers and space them about 2 to 3 feet apart. Fertilize the area with a slow release fertilizer.
