Hey everyone, I have a Birds of Paradise plant that’s been curling a bit, and some of the leaves have small rips in them. It’s an indoor plant, and I keep it in a spot with indirect, filtered light. It hasn’t really grown at all since I got it a few months ago.

I figured maybe it wasn’t getting enough sunlight, so I tried putting it outside for a few hours — but that seems to have made things worse. The leaves look burnt now, and they’ve been curling even more ever since. Honestly, it looks like the plant’s in pretty bad shape at this point.

I’m not sure if there’s any way to revive it or help it recover, but if anyone has any tips or knows whether it’s just dying, I’d really appreciate the advice.

Huge changes in temperatures are very bad for the plant. It’s in shock. Keep it near a sunny window with a humidifier and check in the roots \& soil dampness. When was the last time you fertilized it?

Just a few days ago, I fertilized it and watered it.

I would list the leaves for now and lets it aclimate to a well light spot.
