I'm frustrated- have owned my heliconia for four years, and it has never bloomed. I keep it in the winter under metal halide lights, and bring it outside in the summer, giving it at least 4-5 hours of sun (afternoon). I have fertilized it with special tropical flower fertilizer I found on a trip to hawaii, but still, no flowers. Usually, by the end of the winter, it gets kind of "cruddy"-looking, but have tried keeping the stalks going in hopes of getting flowers. I don't know that I want to go through the trouble yet another winter... Any ideas?
