We live in North Queensland and have a magnificent hibiscus tree - approx. 4 x 4 metres large. Full of fresh green leaves and full of buds but it will not flower. It is the common red flower. All similar hibiscus are in flower except this one. Any ideas? Help.
Hibiscus trees?
Is it in sun or shade? Shade will cut back numbers of blooms produced. Fertilize with a high phosphorus fertilizer. If your soil has too much nitrogen fertilizer in proportion to phosphorus, the plant will just grow pretty green leaves but no flowers.
Reply:This is pretty common with Hibiscus. They often will go into a dormant stage for an unknown period of time, and pretty randomly. I'm sorry to say I do not have an answer, though I wish I did. Hibiscus are so beautiful!
