Hibiscus plants..?

I live in India and have a terrace garden.I have many types of Hibiscus plants in my garden,most of them are red ones.Thay are big enough,but the number of flowers which they get is comparitively less.There is ample sunlight in my garden,i water the plants regularly and also use good quality soil and natural fertilisers.How do I increase their number of flowers,and also the flower size?They are free of insects.

Hibiscus plants..?
hi with all my flowers in the garden and my hibiscus plant i dead head them every day , meaning i just pinch off the dead flowers and that makes it produce more and flower for longer , hope this has helped a little love Tracey x
Reply:u got to probably dig in the soil fronm the sides of the pot and loosen the soil and nourish it with manure from daily kitchen waste. use wasted tea powder
Reply:Pinch off every flower as soon as they start to wilt
Reply:The flowers are self dead heading, but the seed pods are not.
Reply:perhaps reason you have fewer flowers is because the roots have not completely filled the pot. most container plants need to be root bound before producing flowers.





the size of the flower is due to the variety of the plant.





when using fertilizer you should check the package for the numbers. the first number is for top growth (leaves and branches), the second number is for blooms, and the third number is for root development. be certain the middle number is the highest number. use a weak solution of fert to water every time you water to insure profuse blooms.





hope this helps. :)





Edited to add: hibiscus are self dead-heading. no need to pinch off the spent blooms as they will fall off the next day.
Reply:plant food it the key to large flowers the size of dinner plates and as much as 12 flowers a day. you may need some store bought fertilizers as well. also do you prune them back because it only flowers on new growth
