I found this bird of paradise on the side of the road labeled "FREE". I wouldn't spend my own money on one because I know they're prone to pests but, if it's on the side of the road? Free is free. Please give me any tips and/or tricks you have on saving this thing.
The first thing I'm doing is repotting her

My tip is that most people leave their plants on the side of the road because they have pests.

I think it’s a banana tree

Banana tree… where are you? I’m in ga and plant mine outside. They are HUGE! As tall as my house and triple every year. I also get bananas but they don’t get ripe enough. They are easy,,, just clean her up and chop off the dead leaf
