Question
Hi Diana I live in Wisconsin and I have a double hibiscus tree that I have had indoors for over 1 year and this past winter I moved to another city in janurary and i think it got frost bite.. all the leaves died and fell off then about 1 month later leaves grew back... now the leaves are droopy and it still hasn't produced any flowers yet...  I have no clue what to do please help me out

Answer
Dear Ashley,

First of all why do you think your hibiscus suffered from frost bite - did you leave it outside during cold wintery weather?

Where I live in Spain - Andalucia - our hibiscus plants are grown outdoors but of course it is warm here and they thrive in open ground with very little care.  

It may be that your plant reacted to the change of home - travelling, new house, new positioning of plant - by dropping it's leaves.  It's a good sign that they grew back again and I would imagine that the leaves are now drooping due to lack of water or too much sun or a combination of both.  

The plant needs plenty of light and the soil needs to be moist at all times although of course you will reduce watering in the winter when it is resting.

As regards not having any flowers yet have you started to feed it?  Now is the growing season and it needs nourishment so feed it once a week, put some fresh potting compost on top of the old soil, mist its leaves and talk to it encouragingly and hopefully, soon, it will reward you with some wonderful blooms.   Good Luck.
