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

Our Advice:

Yellow leaves on a Strelitzia can be caused by a variety of factors. Overwatering, underwatering, inadequate lighting, or a lack of nutrients can all cause yellowing leaves. Ensure that the plant is receiving enough sunlight, but not too much direct sunlight, and that the soil is moist but not waterlogged. If the plant is not receiving enough nutrients, it may benefit from fertilization.
