Is this normal for a bird of paradise? This is my first one and really want to help it thrive! I got it at Lowe’s a week and a half ago on discount. Also should I separate them since there appears to be two?

I believe it’s normal mine does the same thing. Yours seems to be in a highly lit area so that’s perfect. And these like to be watered fairly often

Ok awesome, thanks so much! I’ve been watering it when the soil is still little moist, is that good?

Yes that’s what I’ve been doing and mine is thriving! I have it outside and it’s given me 2 new leaves.
