Does anyone have advice on what to do with the browning at the bottom of my birds of paradise? I’m not sure what is causing it. It’s on the bottom of all 3 stems

Is cold air from the AC hitting it ?

좋아요 1개Trim I’m glad you found the cause. Trim the rotten roots, disinfect by rinsing the with hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria and replace all of the soil which maybe too wet and is holding bacteria. Disinfect cutting tools/hands/pot to avoid spreading bacteria/fungus. 🪴🍀
