Giant Bird of Paradise Split Planting: Root Damage Recovery

Split Must Include Roots

If divided plants had roots, they should survive. Browning old growth is normal stress response; new growth will come from the corm.

Current Care

Place in dappled shade.
Water only when dry (stressed roots rot easily).
Cut brown leaves off.
Wait—recovery takes months.
