I'm going to miss seeing it open. This work business really gets in the way 😉

#hibiscus, a little late 😊

I'm curious to see how it does. Thus will be the first winter @gjones

Gorgeous! In having a lot of trouble getting mine to bloom. It'll have one bloom for maybe a day. Any suggestions

Hmm... I think short lived blooms are normal. Do they get buds that drop, or no sign of flowers at all? @southerncharm

If the buds turn brown and drop off it could be thrips. If there aren't any, or very few it could be fertilizer issue. They need lots of potassium but don't like phosphorus, so any of the 'bloom boosting' fertilizers aren't good for them @southerncharm

It has very few buds or blooms at a time usually no more than two. They don't turn brown or anything they just fall off lol

I know they are heavy feeders. They recommend half strength fertilizer with each watering. I made the mistake of using something with high phosphorus and the whole plant suffered. Other than that I don't have any advice. Just luck!😉 @southerncharm

I really appreciate your help and wishes of luck. I was going to try a bloom booster so you saved it there. I will look for something with potassium and see what I can do😉😁

I can't believe how many buds this one has! I hope they actually open
