During the abnormally long and hot Indian summer this year, my bird-of-paradise plant was simply THRIVING. We had planted the thing about a year ago and all it did was grow leavesHowever, I checked on it a couple weeks ago and noticed it was starting to grow what looks like flowers!!!! The bad part is that winter is rolling around and the temperature outside is around low fifties, around 48-50F. In the grand scheme of things, these temps are pretty darn good, but bird-of-paradise are tropical plants so I'm a bit worried.
These are my absolute favorite plants and I was wondering if any plant aficionados out there could give me any advice. Will my beloved plant's flowers never bloom?
You can see the dried up, dead tomato vines and leaves scattered around the plant.Ick, I'm hoping my bird-of-paradise won't encounter the same fate!
