I hope now I’m armed with knowledge I can get her super bushy and blooming loads like when my grandma was alive- not just one or two blooms like she does now she’s in my care (I do my best, but there’s still so much to learn!). I only trimmed my hibiscus this spring- for the first time in 3 years! So hoping that’ll help her get a bit bushier!

As u can see she has no flowers and no buds. It should be FULL OF FLOWERS AND BUDS. These do NOT GROW INDOORS WEELL. well the plant as shown does, but they r usually bought for their various colored flowers. They bloom continuously! Living in Florida they r everywhere!! Just dig a big kinda deep hole larger then container, put potting soil in hole about 1/2 way, add a little water, insert plant, add more planting soil to top, water thoroughly!! I live in Florida so use soil added because I’ve had better luck then just the sand. But u can plant directly in sandy ground!
Hello there, this is one of the best videos I have seen about Hibiscus plants. I was recently introduced to this plant by a relative who showed me a smaller "Fruit Punch" that she had purchased at Home Depot, I have since purchased the same and moved them over to a 2.5 quart planter. After watching your video I now see that I made a mistake repotting to 2.5 quart planter even though through pure luck they both have adapted well. I am glad I watched this video because the Los Angeles nights are dipping to low 40s where they been living so I immediately brought them inside. Thanks again and continued success!!!.

I propagated 10 brown stems containing nodes from my tropical hibiscus in the spring, and I got back 6 new plants from them. I just don’t know what I’ll do with them all now. My original hibiscus has grown so much, and I live in Tennessee so it comes inside this summer. Thanks for mentioning if plants are toxic to dogs and cats. I always have to look it up. People give me plant some what frequently, because they don’t know how to take care of them or they don’t want to. I’ve got 2 beautiful Peace Lillies that I have to make sure to keep the door closed to the room they’re in. Thanks for all the advice.

Without seeing the actual plant and knowing all the circumstances, my initial thoughts would be either overwatering or underwatering or just leaves reaching the natural end of their leaf lifecycle. If it’s underwatering the leaves would be turning yellow and then crisping up. Overwatering typically leads to yellowing followed by browning and the leaves getting softer/mushy. But once again, could just be natural leaf loss (which will actually look like the underwatering situation I just described). Mine probably loses like 10 leaves a week just naturally but she pumps out way more new leaves than that per week too so I don’t worry about cause I know I’m not overwatering or underwatering her. Hope this helps!

So happy to help! I fertilize once per month in the winter and I still just water as often as the plant needs it. For my personal environment, it usually takes the plant a little bit longer to use up the water in the winter so like maybe one to 3 days longer. But I always just check to see how dry the soil is before I water, or if the leaves start drooping I definitely know I need to water.

They're all tropical Hibiscus with varying flower colors, but I was just wondering if you feel like that'll cause issues in the future?

Hello I have tropical hibiscus inside in large pots and hardy hibiscus outside on the side of my house. The outside ones are doing great it seems. But the inside poted ones not so much. I have tried plant food, fertilizer, making sure they have good light and they sill have yellow leaves. The one is like a tree and though it has a lot of yellow leaves it's blooming a lot still. The other one is a twisted tree and that one we did find spider mites on. We were able to take care of that and seems to be getting new growth. My question is, why the yellow leaves? Am I watering to much? Also, is there anything else I can do?
@AlohaPlantLife

Some yellow leaves is normal as leaves regularly die off from old age. Mine drops probably at least 10 old leaves a week. If it’s not an excessive number to the point it’s starting to look bald and as long as it’s also still putting out healthy new growth then you should be fine💚
hello great video! hope you can help me. my tropical hibiscus is infested with what i believe are aphids. they are stuck on the blooms and surrounding areas and when the blooms drop it makes the floor sticky. so i suspect they are attracted to its sap? it is currently winter here (NJ zone 7a) and too cold to take her outside to get a good hosing (our water is shut off for winter as well). i contemplated pruning her even if it means cutting off developing blooms because i think it is the only way i can get rid of the bugs for now :( do you think it is ok to do this? will it affect her growth later on or will she eventually bounce back? this july will be 4 yrs since we've had her.

Depends on the type of hibiscus and your growing zone. Hardy Hibiscus can grow outside year around in most zones. Tropical hibiscus can grow outside year around only in a few zones way way south (if we’re talking Northern Hemisphere). So for example, I could have my hibiscus which is tropical outside for a few months in the spring and a few months in the fall but I have to move it inside during the rest of the year.

Can you give a little more info please? What kind of lighting is the plant in, are you sure you haven’t underwatered or overwatered, was the plant fine before and this just started happening out of nowhere, and is the plant still putting out new growth?

@@theresadyjach5406 The yellowing leaves could just be from the spider mites. Is it in full sun?
they grow everywhere in my country, it's considered "city council plant". i hate them 😂
This is funny! IT HAS NO FLOWERS… IT SHOULD,!!! At all times, tons of buds too. I live in Florida and these r EVERYWHERE!!! They thrive in HOT HUMID CONDITIONS! I can’t imagine growing this indoors. Yours has no flowers! It should ALWAYS have flowers on them. Tons of buds and all times. I’m sorry I know u think u know about this plant but living in south Florida we know our tropical plants, like many northerners usually own more about plants or flowers that can’t grow here in Florida. Also, why does EVERYONE say to use such complicated soils, mixing this, mixing that… no u don’t! Just plant them in potting soil, that’s it! To many videos actually make it to much for a beginner. This is very easy to grow, especially in hot climates of southern states. Don’t make things so difficult, to many KZreadrs do this! Mildew however is common! It’s common to get black spots. Just remove foliage! Or prune a little bit. Because all these diseases are usually on the ground and stems. Just adding info for other viewers so they know, ur making this more difficult then it is. But your plant is beautiful but not right!! It should always be in bloom with tons of buds!

Not everyone’s environments and experiences are the same nor are all hibiscus. It’s not high humidity where I live at all so my plant will have a different experience than yours

I agree. She's growing just a green bush when it's supposed to be a FLOWERING bush. And she's telling everybody that hibiscus doesn't like hot! EXCUSE ME!? Why do they grow so nicely in Florida then? In full sun? No, she knows absolutely nothing about hibiscus!

@@markkozdroj9778 the particular hibiscus that I grow doesn’t like 110° heat in direct sun. Does yours get 110° heat in direct sun and is it the exact same hibiscus as mine? Once again, not everybody’s conditions are the same and “hot” can be a broad range of temperatures. My hibiscus is also anything but all green if you watched the video. Her leaves are white pink and green.

Not everythings about you. All climates and soils are different. If you happen to be the one person it doesn't help move on, instead of acting like a child.. 👋

Hers looks like a variegated version not the big box random yellow, pink red, orange colours so they definitely will have different leaves and requirements since they are hybrids of the natural native varieties
Why is that plant a "she"?

you might be missing a mineral in your diet. Maybe less alcohol? But you are very shaking and I would ask your Dr about it

First of all, this is just plain rude of you. Secondly, if you’ve watched enough videos on my channel, you will know I have a neurological condition called essential tremors. It has absolutely nothing to do with a vitamin deficiency or alcohol consumption. It’s something I was born with. I suggest you think twice before jumping to conclusions and commenting on peoples health in the future.
