Heliconia Won’t Flower.

You don't say how old it is but it takes two years to bloom. It also needs slightly acidic soil in full to part sun. Mimicking a tropical rain forest can help – warm, humid conditions with mmoist, fertile soil. And very little pruning. When all its cultural needs are met, it should bloom.
