Reply:Hi:


The Hibiscus plant is a beautiful sub-tropical and tropical plant. I am not sure what climate zone you live in and the age of the plant. Flowering will depend on various factors. Depending on the evironment is was grown in and also moving to another environment will change the budding and blossoming times. If you Hibiscus is healthy, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Make sure it has the right light and water properly and you should get some blooms in the future.





I am a landscaper and designer and have run into this often. After planting flowering shrubs and flowers clients will call after the first six months to a year and ask why their plant or flower isn't bloomming. Many times if plant is put into the ground, it will take some time to get the roots established and get into its growing pattern. This can happen also with a container plant.





I hope this has helped some and good luck to you and your Hibiscus. I will link you to the tropics section of my website. There is a page on Hibiscus. I will link you also to the site map as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find any other information that may be helpful to you. Have a great day!

Reply:unfortunately, there is too little information about your hibiscus to know exactly what's wrong with it. just make sure you fertilize/water correctly and be patient...hibiscus usually tend to go dormant during the winter season, they need the perfect combination of sun warmth/water to bloom again.
