Tradewinds Hibiscus 'Montego Wind' Small Blooms: Stress Symptom

Observation

Orange Tradewinds hibiscus in 10-in pot, healthy, blooming but flowers much smaller than other varieties or online photos. Dropped buds initially (extreme heat/humidity in Baltimore). Repotted and fed before purchase.

Cause: Stress

Small blooms = stress (water, nutrients, light, container). Hard to diagnose remotely. Plant did bloom—good sign.

Advice

Wait and see. Keep well-watered in full sun. Next flush may normalize. Acclimation period is likely.
