White bird of paradise #681745

Asked February 25, 2021, 8:49 AM EST

My white bird of paradise plants were damaged by the cold weather and the leaves have fallen over.  Please confirm that I should cut back the leaves to live plant.  Also, would this be an appropriate time to divide the plants or should I wait until late spring as usual?

Expert Response

Any of the foliage that is bent at the stem will probably not recover and can be removed. I would not divide at this point and wait until the usual time in the spring.

Thanks for the question.
