We noticed that the leaves of our bird of paradise are starting to curl. Any idea why that might be? We water it every 10 days, it’s 5 feet away from a very large East-facing window. Any tips appeciated!

I noticed when I wasn’t misting mine it did this. Just a simple mist to the leaves every few days especially in dryer air. Helped mine.

Is it near an air conditioner or vent by any chance?
