usually a bird of paradise won't bloom if it is too young. If you've had it a while and it still won't bloom, may need a high phosphorus fertilizer or could be getting too little light. They need almost full sun.
You might have used a fertilizer to high in nitrogen which will produce leaves and not flowers. Look for fertilezer with a higher rate of phosphorus.
