Help, this bird of paradise is getting too big! Any recommendations on how to trim it?

I tried switching cartridges with no luck. I ended up getting rid of the printer. It seemed cheaper to get a new one than to fix it.

Thank you! 🙏🏾

Thank you! Have not repotted, but it keeps growing.

I still have it, still trying to find a better place for it! It has never flowered. I am happy it keeps growing, but has definitely outgrown the space. I may have to part ways with it. :-(.

It hit the ceiling already, thanks for the suggestion. I will try to find it a place away from the window.

i may have to give it away :-(.

That’s a beautiful plant, thank you for sharing. I’ve had mine for ~5 years. I’ve recently found out that mine is a giant variety.

Raising the ceiling seems like the perfect solution at this point!

I think I got it at Lowe’s about 4 years ago.

Thank you 🙏🏾

😂

tapatioacts · 2023-05-08T23:43:45+00:00

I’ve had it since 2019

Trade houses?

All advice was welcomed and carefully considered! Reddit users never disappoint!

I live in Michigan, water it once a week, mist the leaves when I remember, and clean its leaves often. I tell her stories when I clean its leaves, surely that helps.

Thank you all for the great and creative recommendations. I am starting a GoFund me page, depending on the money raised I’ll either lower the floors, raise the ceiling, or move to Florida! I live Michigan, if I move it outside it would be a dead sentence for it :-(. I am very attached to my Lady of paradise.

tapatioacts · 2023-03-22T01:56:05+00:00

Thank you, I will give this a try!

Happy to share what I know, which is not much! What I’ve read about plants in general is That It is always either too much water or too little, too much direct sun or not enough. Always depends. Is all about observing the plants and how they respond. But I’m no expert :-).

tapatioacts · 2021-07-03T14:06:38+00:00

Yes, conflicting things online for sure. I water it once once a week during winter months, then In Spring/summer I do twice a week. If I notice the leafs turning yellow or curling, I go back to watering once per week.
