Re: Bird of paradise
You should safely be able to cut it back just below where it has decided to grow at an angle. Did it get bent by the wind or have something fall on it that would suddenly cause it to do this? Strelitzias grow just like bananas, cannas, heliconias, etc. in my experience. They push each new leaf out from the center of the stem. Your first new leaf after cutting will probably have the tip removed but after that the leaves should emerge fully formed. Good luck!
