My hibiscus plants are not flowering. Is there any deficiency in the soil? If so pls advice me?

Unless you live in a tropical or very moderate climate, hibiscus plants will not flower until later in spring or early summer. Being tropical plants, hibiscus will not flower until the temperature is consistently above about 55 to 60 degrees F. If the temperature is around or below 55 all the time, the foliage will grow, but the plant will not bloom. Below about 40 F, the foliage starts dying off. And, freezing or below temperatures will kill it.





For fertilizer, use a time-release product like Osmocote. Also, be careful not to overwater the plant, especially if it's in a pot. If the leaves are turning yellow and dropping off, it's getting too much water.

hibiscus need fully sunlight and of course a regular fertilizer.make sure that you are using the organic soil with enough of water supply.
Reply:Depending on where you live, it is probably a little early for them to bloom, we live in Tennessee and ours are just leafing out, be sure to give it plenty of water and fertilize occasionally...
