Braided Hibiscus Not Flowering After Repotting

Repotting a flowering hibiscus into a larger pot stops blooms. They need to be potbound to flower.

Fix

1. Remove added soil. Return to original pot.
2. Or wait for roots to fill new pot (months).

Yellow Leaves

Excess wet soil = root rot. Or low winter light. Or spider mites.

Watering

When surface dry, water thoroughly. Not by calendar. Large pot = longer dry time.

Spider Mites

Spray thoroughly with soapy water (all surfaces). Repeat if needed.

Lesson

Never repot flowering plants unless absolutely necessary. It breaks the bloom cycle.
