How to get potted Bird of Paradise to flourish?

This Bird of Paradise planted in the pot has never flowered or looked healthy. We were told it would do well in a pot.

We fed it Seasol and we tried Epsom salts but no response from this Bird. We had it outside then under the patio. No luck so far.

Unsure what to do.

Re: How to get potted Bird of Paradise to flourish?

Hi @John57,

 

Could you please let us know where you are based and what's the growing conditions for your plant. 

 

The Bunnings guide How to grow and prune a bird of paradise should have everything you need to help ensure the plant flourishes. I note it should have a warm and sunny position but it looks like it could be on a covered patio? It also looks like a very small pot for what can grow into a reasonably large plant.  

 

Could you please provide a little more detail. We are certainly keen to assist. 

 

Jason
