_Posted by Luke on 2025-07-27_

Hello! I am trying to diagnose and revive some leaves after a significant pruning on my white bird of paradise plant. The window it sits in faces SW and gets plenty of sun. The single leaf on one cluster is getting wrinkly on the side facing away from the window, and one of the leaves on the other cluster with three leaves is browning on the edge and closest to the stem. Pictures attached. What do I need to do to reverse this trend? Thanks in advance for any advice!
