Question

I have loads of blooms, however they only last for a couple of days. Am I doing something wrong? I give them plenty of water and sunlight.

Answer 1

No, their fine. Hibiscus is a prolific bloomer, however they generally last only a day or two. Just go out there and dead head them. Try these for more info.

Answer 2

No-hibiscus only last one day, two at the most. Certainly don't put them in a pond! Fertilize heavy while it is blooming, along with enough water and sunlight.

Answer 3

Hibiscus? My sister did a science project on hibiscus plants (those are the weed things in the water, that bloom). Try giving them a pond, if you are talking about the hibiscus plant.
