How should I prune a bird of paradise plant to ensure healthy growth and vibrant blooms?

To prune a bird of paradise plant for healthy growth and vibrant blooms, trim dead or damaged leaves, cut back any overgrown or leggy stems, and remove any suckers or offshoots at the base of the plant. Additionally, prune any spent flowers to encourage new growth and blooming. Be sure to use clean, sharp pruning shears and make cuts at a 45-degree angle to promote healing.
