Hello Hilton, My bird of paradise, Nicolia, is doing well. It is about 3 feet. My question is I have a bottom leaf turning slightly yellow yet the top larger leaves are starting to curl like they are almost dry? I also have a humidifier in the room and spray them often. I always use a hydrometer before watering to ensure I am not over or under watering all my plants generally with great results. Any suggestions on how this can be happening on one plant? Thank you, I really enjoy your channel! Great job!

I was given a Bird of Paradise plant by a friend about 11 years ago. She had it for a number of years but never flowered. That same year that I had it (I put it in our sunroom), it flowered (I guess it didn't get enough sunlight at my friend's place or it was still too young to flower) and flowered regularly since. Once in a while I have leafs dying which I cut off. It was pretty full but this year, I lost more leaves than usual and it's not as full anymore. I also had found it was attacked by hard shell cochineals a couple months ago which I treated with black soap and I found a few tiny ones this morning which I will treat again. My concern today is that I started to see some stems blackening and dying off. I'm not sure if it is a disease or something else. Have you seen that before and if so, what do I have to do? Oh! I never repoted the plant as it was already in a big pot but I did surfacing a couple times. I intend to repote it this weekend. Thank you for any advice you can give me. Sincerely.

Hey, loved the video. I have a question about wind damage. My poor bird of paradise was outside and one of the leaves snapped over - I am currently trying to salvage it through supporting it with a stick tapped to the broken area to provide tension. Do you have any tips to save this broken leaf and to help my plant recover from this wind damage?

Hey buddy so I have a Bird of Paradise. It did wonderfully in the winter. South facing window so it never got direct light. It grew and put out new growth. In fact, the new leaf grew so fast and so large that the stem snapped. I left it for a while but the leaves started browning and curling up. I moved it to another South facing window and after research opted to cut the new leaf off at the base. The stem was short and the leaf was HUGE, but after it snapped it never got dark like the other leaves and was more thin and translucent. After cutting it off, new growth! So a new leaf is growing but the top big leaves are still curling and browning. I've misted them and feel like it gets enough water, but maybe it isn't? Do you think I should repot it or take it out of the pot and soak it?

Hi Hilton! We inherited a bird of paradise from a lady that left the country about 6 months back and it is doing quite well after some initial issues with browning leafs (underwatering). Now it's doing SO well that it has developed a leaf that is way bigger than the rest of them and it has no way of really supporting this baby. What would be your recommendation? I saw your tip on tying it to other leafs but this is impossible since this is the largest one it has... Hope you can help! It's a beauty.

so helpful! i’m looking to get a bird of paradise but live in a small NYC apartment and already have plants directly in my south facing window. was hoping to put this guy further back in the center of the room. do you think this will be enough sunlight? the window area gets SO much sun that it bleaches out all my furniture (as a point of reference). i am hopeful it will work considering you mentioned they are sometimes happy in indirect sunlight.....?????

Hi Hilton! I am new to owning a bird of paradise and I would to ask how many hours of supplemental balanced red/blue plant light would you suggest for my plant per day while it is sitting right next to the window but 6ft from the actual direct sunlight because of my shaded patio? It is a west facing window to the patio on the first floor of a tall 4 story building and I live in Seattle so I hope you can imagine my sunlight situation.

Hi, I have had a bird of paradise plant(6 bunches in a pot) for six months. No growth except a few leaves that would go funny and die! I noticed today brownish 2-3 millimeters dots on the leaves and the trunk. In a closer look, they looked like bugs but they can be mistaken for part of the plant!! They camouflage and you don’t even realize they are there :( . I could not find any info on KZitem!! Any advice please? Thank you

Hi Hilton, I have a bird of paradise that I bought for indoor since September- October was next to direct sunlight then I moved it to not so near the window and then I started noticing whitish fungal growth on the leaves - from searching- found out it’s mealybugs. Washed the leaves it with alcohol, water and vinegar then started spraying Neem oil weekly. One time I was 10 days late on spraying it and noticed some bugs growing again. Leaves are curling, turning brown, splits easily. Checked the soil and found it wet despite the top part is dry. I found 7-10 pink worms so I basically, removed the old soil washed the roots and re potted the plants. It’s frustrating me! Any advice to save my plant before its too late ?! 🥺🥺 I’m sorry for this long comment but i am so sad. She’s like one of my babies I have about 6 various plants and I live in Kansas City! Please, help save my plant. 🙏🏼

My White Bird of paradise leaves are starting to curl and the soil it's in is coco coir that the nursery put it in. It seem like it stays wet for weeks and it is in a south facing window. The leaves are starting to slip also. I use filtered water on it and only water it when it is almost dry. Should I still water it if my moisture meter still says wet after 3 weeks?

My bird of paradise plant is getting brown spots on the leaves. It's almost starting to look like it's variegated. This happened to another leaf and I thought it was the end of it happening after I cut it off. The stem the leaf was on looks fine. The leaf just didn't survive I don't want to lose any more leaves now though.

Someone threw away a BOP, I grabbed it up watered it down real good. However, what I discovered after I placed in pot is that it leans badly. I have left it outdoors to ensure no insect infestation. Since then I hav tried to stake one set of the leaves, I need taller stakes for the other two. I was wonder, could I cut off all the leaves and start over without damaging the plant.

Rather than cut it, you can help it unwind by helping it. By opening the crease with your fingers and it should be okay, sometimes it's needs a little bit of help.
