# Soo I just got some plants as gifts and I’m not 100% sure on what to…

_Posted by Camila🤍 on 2023-10-05_

Soo I just got some plants as gifts and I’m not 100% sure on what to do for this one. I’m relatively new to being a plant mom it’s been a lot of trial and error so please any advice is helpful! The outside photo is when I first received her and the other two are her current condition. She was left outside for two days as well just to note!

Im guessing it got direct sun while outside? I’m not sure the type, but it looks like a philodendron and all of my philodendrons typically like bright, but indirect light. So I’d keep it inside for sure to avoid further scorching. You may want to trim the burned leaves at some point

Otherwise, I’d just make sure she has enough water to recover from the extra sunlight!

I actually believe this is a bird of paradise! I don’t know much about their care since I don’t have one but hopefully you can watch some YouTube videos!
