a few weeks ago i bought a plant at ikea based on pure gut choice. it was a birds of paradise (BOP). my only experience with plants is succulents and philodendron brasil. ive killed a dracaena and a spider plant :/. this app said it was "hopeless" (apps words not mine 😭) on my skill level to take care of it. but ive learned from many mistakes and a variety of plant owners on tiktok and on here and google searching solutions. trial and error has allowed me to learn, like every plant owner. about a week and a half ago, i noticed my bop had a new leaf sprouting and monitored it. couple days later learned they get STUCK and sometimes need help by rubbing them off (not the term used in the educational video i found 😂) so ive been helping it slowly everyday for a couple of minutes by, quite literally, rubbing it off. tonight, the leaf has started to unfurl !! take that planta app !!
