Bird of Paradise Decline: Diagnosing Light, Water, and Pot Issues

Information Needed for Diagnosis

To pinpoint why your 5-foot Strelitzia is yellowing, drying, and losing vigor after 3 months, I need:

• Window direction and obstructions (building, shade).
• How dry the soil is before watering.
• Pot width.
• Any pest signs.
• Photos of the whole plant in its pot.

Email details to wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com. Common culprits: insufficient light, overwatering in a too-large pot, or root rot.
