Leaning, Asymmetrical Bird of Paradise

Question

Hey there! My bird of paradise is growing very nicely, but is starting to grow towards the window more than I’d like. Should I consider cutting off the most “leanining” portion? Or rotate it? Or support it? Or something else? Or maybe I should just let it do it’s thing. Any advice?

@AstroMind · Answer

May just be leaning to the light. Rotate it to prevent more leaning if it’s due to light

Is it really 10ft from direct light? If so, I’d consider moving its location.  Mine is about 2ft from a west window

@dreamlettuce · Answer

I agree with both @AstroMind & @KDkat3. Seems like your BoP is leaning towards the light! I would either rotate it every 3-4 days OR place near an area where it gets bright indirect light! They thrive in it 🪴☀️🙌🏽

@ZarfJade · Answer

I would rotate and also I found that using wooden skiers help to stabilizer
