How can I effectively care for my bird of paradise plant by cutting back its foliage?

To effectively care for your bird of paradise plant by cutting back its foliage, use sharp, clean scissors or pruning shears to trim any dead or damaged leaves. Cut the leaves at the base of the stem to promote new growth. Avoid cutting healthy leaves, as this can harm the plant. Regularly remove any yellowing or browning leaves to keep the plant looking healthy and vibrant.
