Birds of paradsie

Question

I would like to know if I can plant a Bird of Paradise regenia plants near or adjacent to storm water pipe. It is a big garden bed with the storm water pipe running diagonally across, disecting the centre where the plant is to go. Will the plant’s roots damage the storm water pipe?

Answer 1

Bird of Paradise develop large roots that form a ball. They are not likely to harm pipes, though you may want to avoid planting directly over or near the drains.
