Why are the leaves on my Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise) drooping?

Our Advice:

If the leaves on your Strelitzia are drooping, it could be due to overwatering or underwatering. Strelitzia prefers well-draining soil that is moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot and cause the leaves to droop. Underwatering can cause the leaves to wilt and eventually droop. It could also be due to environmental stressors such as extreme temperature fluctuations, lack of sunlight, or pest infestations.
