Hey everybody,
I have a bird of paradise that I purchased a year ago.. its was a healthy large plants with about 10 large leaves. I had to leave to india and asked a friend to take care.. he didn't do a great job.. the stems broke, underwatered during the Michigan winters and the plant was under the heat vent.. and in summer it was kept outside without support and my friend ended up over watering it everyday.
I took the plant back.. re potted with organic soil in a lechuza self watering pot.. pruned the plant!
It's been Over 6weeks.. the plant has stabilized.. there are 2 bulbs.. one of the bulb shows sign of revival! It's growing a new leaf.. but the other bulb seems like it's doing nothing..
Any ideas how I can help her grow and recover! It's kept outside..gets a ton of sunglight...and has a bit of sunburn..
I have also added fracture brace to the broken stems.. which is working.

It's my first plant.. made a lot of mistakes..but I am learning and I wanna nurture her back to her full glory.. I do talk to her everyday and comfort her..
Sounds silly..but She's a living things like us..
