Banana Leaf Plant (Likely White Bird of Paradise) Too Tall for Space

Annette's 6-foot "banana leaf plant" in large pot near south window (corner, indirect sun). Tallest leaves touch ceiling. Leaves drooping slowly, not drying. Soil kept moist. Asks cause: light or water?

Will Creed: Likely white bird of paradise, not banana. Problems: too tall for space (leaves above window get little light), corner placement reduces light, overpotting keeps roots too moist. Remove added soil from top of rootball, water only when top inch dry.
