White Bird of Paradise outside?

[Isaiah 58:11]

I recently got a White bird of Paradise plant that I am in love with! What a beautiful plant! I was wondering if it is a good idea to put it outside in the summer so it can get more sunlight. I read that these plants love the sun and may produce flowers if enough sunlight is provided. Is it safe to put it outside? I don’t want to hurt it accidentally.

I live in Florida so it gets a ton of light and we have ours outside and it’s completely fine.

They’re also planted all over our neighbourhood and they all flower.

That’s awesome! I’m hoping mine will flower too.

White Bird of Paradise IS a beautiful plant. I have two, one is already outside and the other will be set out eventually. I have heard that they only bloom once HUGE, so I don't see how you would expect to get it back into the house from that stage. I also have the Orange Bird, a smaller plant. This one IS possible to flower in a container, mine bloomed for the first time. The flower stalks started in October, stalks still lengthening and flowers have not even opened up yet..., so these guys have a really long period of bloom! And, btw, it's still a pretty large plant that has, eventually to be protected. I over winter my Orange Bird and Giant White Bird in a garage and another White Bird in the basement.
