Question:

Hibiscus is stretching out long branches but no flowers!?

I‘m thinking that they are protesting the fact that they are still in pots and not in the ground. What do you think?I have a little area near a privacy fence where I could plant them. This is TX, and it gets really hot. I could plant them with morning/aftnoon sun, or afternoon shade, or I could plant them where there is mostly shade. Opinions?Thanks, y‘all

Answer:

It sounds like they're not getting enough light. Plants that don't get adequate light get leggy, and often don't bloom. All the hibiscus plants I've ever seen do well in full sun; Houston with its humidity should be an excellent location.
hit it with a ball peen hammer.
The Hibiscus flowers only last for less than 24 hrs. That's normal, nothing to be worried about.
