My hibiscus bloomed a lot last year, but this spring it got too cold one night and all it's leaves fell off. The plant is now full and lush again but it is not producing blooms, it has one! What can I do to promote more blooms?

Request: Hibiscus Dropping Buds Early
Archived on 04/23/2008
Hi frugal family!
I have a small problem in the garden. I have a Hibiscus plant in the front yard. We have lived in our new home abt 18 months. Last year the Hibiscus bloomed tons but this year it's droppping its buds before they can open up. I saw that you can buy something in the store to discourage the bud drop but I would rather do it a cheaper way. Got any suggestions?
Thanks, Jim in FL

It may be to much or not enough water. Watch out for catapillers on those bushes. They have a nasty bite. (06/14/2005)

You should probably check the plant closely you may have spider mites or other bugs that are killing the bud. You may need to fertilize or water more often too. (06/14/2005)
