I just bought my plant a week ago. I left in it the pot it was in and placed it on my flower bed. It had one beautiful flower and lots of buds. The flower eventually fell off, but all the buds kinda dried up and didn't bloom. What happened? Did I over water it? I used some Miracle Gro initially. Will it bloom again this season?

It might have been shocked a bit by the transplant. I think it will recover.
so at first i wondered if the miracle gro was bad for hibiscus since some plants don't like it but it looks like as long as you don't have a fertilizer too high in nitrogen you're good and that miracle gro is good homeguides.sfgate.com/
the other thing aside from thrips infestation is, did you ever let it go dry? Have too little sun? This is Hawaii's native plant so it really needs that tropical thing happening. Consistent water and light are good for it
I see it was mentioned Miracle grow is safe however I had both hardy and non hardy hibiscus that were blooming fine until I started using miracle grow. On the hardy hibiscus the buds all dried up and became brown on the non hardy they quit budding and in some cases the buds started but never completely formed.
