Why are the leaves on my Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise) turning brown and crispy?

Our Advice:

Brown, crispy leaves on a Strelitzia may indicate underwatering, high salt buildup in the soil, or low humidity levels. Check the moisture level of the soil and ensure that the plant is not being over-fertilised. If the plant is in a dry environment, consider increasing the humidity by placing a tray of water near the plant or using a humidifier.
