Crotons

The zebra plant
The zebra plant ( aphelandra ) produces spikes of orange-yellow flowers in the fall. This plant likes to feel cramped in its pot and requires a period of rest after flowering.
Dandelion
Well, well, okay… nothing romantic about receiving a bunch of dandelion ( taraxacum officinale ), but believe me, your parrot will appreciate it to the highest point… The young yellow shoots have a little taste of honey that birds love and the leaves are rich in vitamin A.
The spider plant
The spider plant ( chlorophytum comosum ) gets its name from the fact that it produces long threads at maturity, at the end of which new plants grow. Likes plenty of light, but not direct sunlight.
Sunflower
What could be more romantic than a huge bouquet of sunflowers ( helianthes ) to brighten up the day … A word of advice, keep your bouquet away from Coco’s beak, because when it comes to delight … sunflower seeds are really an addiction for parrots, mostly fresh picked from the plant.
