Fixing Brown Spots on White Bird of Paradise

Watering and Light: The Likely Culprits

Brown spots and curved leaves on Strelitzia nicolai can stem from over- or under-watering. Without knowing your exact routine, here's the baseline:

If Not Repotted & In Bright Light

  • Place directly in front of an uncovered east window.
  • Water thoroughly when soil surface feels bone dry (~weekly).
  • Never let sit in drainage water.

If Repotted

Repotting often causes root rot in this species. Allow soil to dry deeper, water sparingly, and hope for recovery.

Provide more details (watering schedule, repotting history) for precise advice.
