growing a bird of paradise plant

Question

I have been growing a bird of paradise plant for almost 30 years. During that time it has only produced one bloom. During summer the plant is placed out of doors and in the winter it is brought indoors and placed under grow lights that are on 12 hours per day.Most of the time the leaves curl and dry out. I definitely am doing something wrong. What is it?
