Bird of Paradise brown edges

Broad leaf margins can dry after the root ball dries too far, especially near hot glass or a heater. Check whether only exposed edges are damaged or several leaves are affected.

Reach the center of a crowded pot

Water slowly across the root ball when the upper mix dries and check that the center absorbs moisture. If roots have displaced most of the soil and the pot repeatedly dries very fast, repot one size larger.

Move leaves out of hot airflow. Reduce excess fertilizer if deposits build up, flushing only a freely draining pot with healthy roots when it needs water. Keep partly green leaves and use the next opening blade to judge improvement.
