Sudden hibiscus bloom failure syndrome

More then one hibiscus rosa-sinensis that I got, would suddenly fail to bloom anymore! It seems common to have nice heart-shaped-tooth-edged leaves and nothing else! Not even a bud! Or every single bud dies way before a flower can even possibly open!

They are finicky about their water cycles; too much time between waterings, or too waterlogged and they drop blossoms. There also may be a tripe infestation that is putting a strain on the plant- they are real hard to spot without a magnifying glass.

RJ, I'm surprised that they even grow where you are. They are usually warmish weather plants.

Well, that's the one for indoors, and for gosh sakes, I saw someone's photos of a hibiscus (probably the tropical variant as well) in a basement and under lighting, IIRC. If not multiple hibiscus plants doing fine. Wink
