Bird of Paradise – Indoor Plant

Question

I just repotted a bird of paradise and the leaves are curling in. What did I do wrong?

Answer 1

After repotting, plants will oftentimes experience a period of shock while adjusting to their new environment. The curling inward of the leaves could indicate that the plant is stressed, most likely from the repotting. Make sure that you have given it adequate water and place it in similar light conditions as before.
