I have 2 birds of paradise but can’t seem to get them to bloom also they are wilting at the edges a lot. How do I get them to bloom? I’ve had them for 2 years.

i don’t have much experience with these plants but it looks like they may want more moisture based on the crispy leaf edges. are you in a really dry or hot climate? a small humidifier or a tray of rocks with water in it may help to add moisture to the air near the plant!  
if it’s not that, is it being underwatered?

It’s been really hot lately so I’ll try your advice! Thank you very much!

From what I read it’s VERY difficult to get a bird of paradise to flower. I Believe the plant has to be very mature (like 8-10 years).
