# Drooping leaves. What do I do? I’ve had my BOP for like 2 months now…

Drooping leaves. What do I do?

I’ve had my BOP for like 2 months now and noticed the leaves stared drooping.  
I’ll say that I did make a mistake by leaving it next to the ac vent. Because that’s where my window is. But how bad is it? And how can I revive it?  
I water once a week depending on the moisture of the soil, and it’s in a pot with drainage.

How much light is it getting? Bird of paradise needs A LOT of light. Mine sits in direct sun in an east facing window and is very happy.

That does make sense. I wouldn’t say it’s been a lot of light. It’s been quite cloudy lately.

It can be natural as new/larger leaves come in. Your plant looks very healthy so I wouldn’t be worried. SOME people might even recommend pruning those smaller leaves to allow more energy to go into new and larger leaves. Congrats!

This is music to my ears. Thank you!
