How can I tell if my bird of paradise plant has been overwatered and what steps should I take to remedy the situation?

You can tell if your bird of paradise plant has been overwatered if its leaves turn yellow or brown, and the soil feels soggy. To remedy the situation, you should stop watering the plant and allow the soil to dry out completely. You may also need to repot the plant in well-draining soil to prevent future overwatering.
