Why are the leaves on my Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise) curling or twisting?

Our Advice:

Curling or twisting leaves on a Strelitzia are often a sign of underwatering or over-fertilization. Check the moisture level of the soil and adjust the frequency of fertilization as needed. Additionally, make sure the plant is not receiving too much direct sunlight, which can cause leaves to curl or twist.
