# Help!! My birds of paradise has never had any problems until this…

_Posted by Carly on 2024-07-29_

Help!! My birds of paradise has never had any problems until this spring when the leaves started to curl up and get brown around the edges. I repotted it in June (same size pot as before just different design)  
What do I do!? (Pics of the roots are from where I repotted it)

Do the usual checks, root rot, pests, how wet/dry the soil is. Usually curling up like that is a sign of under watering.
