We have 2 red hibiscus plants. One is not blooming, has had buds for over a month, leaves dark green healthy looking. Other plant is larger, blooming. However, leaves are sparce and lighter green, blooms are not as red or as large as last year. I've fertilized with manganese, Feb and this week, 4/9/2008. What do you recommend?
