Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae), also known as crane flowers, is one of the most beautiful of all exotic flowers. This native of South Africa derives its name from the unusual flowers, which resemble brightly colored birds in flight.The leaves of a bird of paradise plant are bluish-green with a red midrib. This thick, evergreen foliage resembles small banana leaves, attached to a long stalk. In contrast to the banana, however, bird of paradise plants are trunkless.
Emerging from the green and pink boat-shaped bracts in spring is the long-stemmed bird of paradise flower. The bird of paradise flower has petals of brilliant orange set off by its intense blue arrow-shaped tongue. The blooming will continue in a succession over some time. In fact, when grown in greenhouse-like conditions, bird of paradise plants may even bloom year-round.

Fertilize the B.O.D during their active growth at least every couple of weeks with a general purpose water-soluble fertilizer (Miracle-Gro Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food).
Another factor to look for when there are no flowers on bird of paradise is the planting condition. Container grown plants will bloom more profusely if kept slightly pot bound. Repotting too often can inhibit the flowering of bird of paradise blooms for up to two years. Instead, you should simply topdress the plant with fresh potting soil in spring.
They also require shallow planting in well-draining soil. In fact, roots near the top of the soil may actually help to encourage blooming.
