If you have not changed your plant's location in two years, i assume it is in a container and not planted in the ground. So I'm also going to guess you have not transplanted your Hibi in two years, if this is true you could have a root problem, if the roots are in bad condition there is'nt any amount of fertilizer or water or sun that is going to help. It will only make things worse. You also did'nt say where you live, but Rose mallow Hibiscus are perennials in zones 4-9, if your in these zones, try planting you tree in the ground. They do best in full sun but will tolerate light shade, prefer moist soil,they like ground liberally supplemented with compost, leaf mold, or other organic material. If you do transplant you tree, add a time released fertilizer at the bottom of the hole, time released does not burn the roots and last for a few months, where as water mixed fert's do not. It's ok to feed with liquid fert., but with a gentler dose, say 10-10-10, this also applies to container grown plants, time released is important added to the soil, this way you only have to overhead feed once a month or not at all if your plant is green and healthy, when you check out your root system, make sure it has thick white strong roots, if you transplant to another pot or to the ground, score the roots, loosen them with your hand, if the roots are brown, cut off the brown and replant into your newly ammended soil. Hope your flowers come soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has its exposure to the sun changed? For example, is there a tree nearby that has grown and blocked some of the much needed sunlight? Also, overfertilizing can cause a plant to grow like crazy and since it is so busy growing, it doesn't have the energy to bloom. There is a product on the market called Super Bloom by Greenlight that is created as a booster for plants who have a hard time blooming. When fertilizing for a bloom, the higher the middle number, the better, for example, Super Bloom is 12 - 55 - 6, where as Miracle Gro is 12 - 6 - 6. Check the amount of sun exposure and if you are fertilizing a lot, then back off and if you aren't fertilizing enough, then go get some Super Bloom - that should take care of your problem! Good Luck!

it's possible that you may need to loosen the soil around the roots,assuming it is planted in the ground. what type of "food" are you giving it? depending on where you live and what kind of soil you have, you may want to try changing your fertilizer. also,make sure it is mulched to retain moisture. is there any chance a nearby tree is shading it so it's not getting the same amount of sun it was a couple years ago?

Hibiscus flowering is directly related to the amount of HEAT they recieve. You could try placing bricks under the potted plant or around the planted plant to collect heat. (mulch over the bricks to disguise them) good luck
