# Looking for help🙏🥺Got this birds of paradise few months ago. But…

Looking for help🙏🥺Got this birds of paradise few months ago. But it’s looking down and the leaves are splitting or yellowing. The growth is so slow. I water once it’s dry, give it some food, place them next to the window and remove any dust.  
What can I possibly do to help it better grow?

Try repotting  
I see that the pot it is in is a bit small for that big plant. It could be making it stressed

Thought about that too! Do u have any tips for repotting? What soil should I go for

The leaves splitting is normal for Birds of Paradise

But yeah the leaves do look a bit droopy as well. How much sun is it getting? Is the window North, East, West, or South facing

North and east and I live in Toronto

Give it full sun and/or a grow light, turn the humidity up (mine liked 70% to get it to continue growing), and I’ve read it likes its soil moist/water when the first couple of inches are dry

Thank you. I’ll try that
