Just a minor question about my bird of paradise that I just bought. This was the condition it was in at the store and I wanted to see if there is anything I should be aware of? I am so excited to own one and want to make sure it is very happy and healthy. Are these brown spots and slight chunks missing anything I should be worried about, or is this just from the traversal to the store it was located at? Additionally, is there any advice to keep it strong and healthy going forward?

To me, it just looks like mechanical damage, but always check the undersides of leaves for pests

I love Birds of Paradise ^\_^ I have mine in an east-facing window, so it gets direct sun in the morning.

These guys also like being a bit root-bound because they don’t like their soil staying wet. I made the mistake of putting in a large pot at first, and it looked a bit sad. Then switched to a smaller pot (the roots are almost touching the outside of the pot, but still have some room to grow) with roughly half soil, half perlite, and it’s been pretty happy!
