Hibiscus question
Hi ladies, I've never posted on this board before but now that we have a house H and I are getting started on our yard.
Anyhow I bought a hibiscus over the weekend for my plant stand on the patio; the lady at the nursery told me that I could keep it in the pot if I didn't want to put it in the ground. It had 3 large blossoms on it when I brought it home then it closed up at night. It hasn't reopened since and those 3 large blossoms fell off. I kept movng it to sunny spots in the back yard & tried one last attempt by bringing it in the house since it got cool at night these last couple days but so far it's still closed. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? I'm keeping the soil moist like they told me to and was going to buy the fertilizer today. Thanks!
Re: Hibiscus question
I'm in Southern Ontario and we keep our hibiscus out on the deck through the late spring and into early fall. When it first goes out it takes a bit to adjust and can get sun burned if it's in full sun.
After a few years in the same pot ours got almost completely pot bound. I just transferred it to a new pot and it's doing very well. We've had 1 bloom so far and I think I see another bud coming up.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
