Hibiscus wants full sun with deep watering. Once the top layer of soil is dry from the sun, water again deep to the point where it drains out the bottom of the pot. or if not in a pot, just remember to water every other day in hotter climates and twice a week in cooler climates. two inches of mulch will conserve moisture. Needs protection from wind or will burn the flowers. Feed with mulitpurpose furtilizer at 6-8 week intervals only during growing season. Just depends on where you live... sorry didn't look first Thank you for the advise..something I haven't done especially with the mulch.. but it says to "prune semi anually..this wil encourage new growth.. should I cut the dead parts and do what you said and see what happens.. I live in PA...lots of rain..then very hot.. I did notice it would try out on the top of the pot it's in...wholes in the bottom for draining... Thank you.. I really love this plant especially coming from my son..  
Zanne it's the hot that they don't like... they want sun, but if it's getting down right hot direct sun.. no... so keep them in the morning sun where you are in PA. They'll need afternoon shade. Also the other poster brought up a good thing with pests, but I don't think so in your case. Part of the plant in messed up and probably due to wind or sun damage. I think you're watering enough, and if part of the plant is blooming then you're okay on fertilizer. To keep it blooming. just deadhead the spent blooms. Which means to carefully remove the flowers that have already bloomed but only just below where the flower bloomed below to the second set of leaves. I'll look up the site...then take it to have some one look at it.. I have done all u have told me...except we have had terrible down pours of rain..I even covered the pot with tin foil so it wouldn't get crazy drenched... the weather isn't that hot..and yes it only gets morning sun.. when it blooms it's beautiful..and I do get rid of the flowers when they die.They don't last very long... Thank you so much...  
I am a gardner... horticulturist... they won't be able to help you more than your own explaination. Bringing in a leaf, etc won't help them. They need to know everything to help you. Like pretty much, live next to the plant for a week or more... so don't ever cover the soil. Ever. It makes mold on the soil and welcomes pests that will infest the soil and leaves. You may have an intricate problem that I'd have to look at to get this just right... but if it were my plant, and I'd tried everything I've already mentioned, I'd change the soil out knowing you'd covered it during rain... don't do that. Take it to a covered porch for it's entire existance. It's a decrative porch plant where you are. Don't let the weather take care of this plant, you have to do it. |

It's the hot they DO like, I think. Maybe I am just thinking of the "Tropical" ones. I didn't even know there were more than one kind til I looked at that article. I always think of them in Hawaii, is likely why. There were Tons there. Hawaii is in no way as hot as where she is in PA... tropical climates are just that... down in the tropics... too hot is bad. Hawaii is not hot at all,, it's a regulated climate that hardly ever gets over 80-85 |

if this plant gets too much water leaves will wilt and drop off, turn brown, etc. It's a decorative thing, put it out in the morning sun in late spring and through summer, but bring it in otherwise

Move.  Just kidding. I thought they liked really warm climates. I could be wrong.
it says it's not goodbelow 50 degrees... weather in PA has been crazy..lots of rain..lots of heat...and sunshine.. it gets morning to afternoon sunshine as it says it likes.... it got over wet...says moderate moist soil..then I see it dry on the top soil.. but it's the dead parts I am concerned about.. half the tree is healthy..the rest is beat... thank you yes, if it drops below 50 your plant will freeze out. If you have an eve to plant it under that's fine, or you want to bring your pot inside near a window for the fall/winter... till it warms up |

All of this wouldn't even be a topic if everyone would just be good people.... mostly people are here cause they can be socially unacceptable (I could be more blunt but..) or just too shy....

I love humor,,,, however, when someone really wants an answer to a serious question, it's not time to be funny.... I think everyone would like for people to show their "true" feelings.... until it's time to be funny. Grow up a little people.... I have spoken! LOL and uh..... So there

Is that what it stands for? Sorry if anyone was offended, it's just a saying. Not being religious, I forget sometimes that some people don't get that. |

why do women say they want a guy thats good to them and treats them rite, then go for just the opposite? I got a good answer.... me me me! See we do want a good guy to treat us well, what happens is, no one can control their heart from falling in love when the attraction is there. We just ecpect that guy we just gave our heart to will be good to us. It's a form of gambling addiction,,,

it would seem nowadays that women love to get treated poorly! i mean, they must like it!!! whats with you girls? i dress nicely, brush my teeth, chew with my mouth closed, and pick up the bill at the end of the night, but the girls walk all over me and into the arms of some pin-headed, muscle-headed jerk-face that calls them 'baby' or 'sugar' and kisses them in public!!  where are all the good girls at??
RIGHT HERE!! LOL I guess the key is to be ready to relocate at any time..... Always too far away to meet a man that says he's a nice guy dangit....

How do you get over someone that you've loved so much you know things will never work out so it had to end.How do you deal with seeing them with someone else and not have it hurt like hell while you are still alone? I was told once by an ex I was with for 13 years... I will never forget how it helped me to get over him... I asked him how he was getting over me so easily after all the time we'd spent together, and he said... "I just put one foot in front of the other... and keep walking... |

.... for all the broken hearts out there....
Some Devil Lyrics Dave Matthews One last kiss one only Then I'll let you go Hard for you I've fallen But you can't break my fall I'm broken don't break me When I hit the ground Some devil some angel Has got me to the bones You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Is such a long and lonely time Too drunk and still drinking It's just the way I feel It's alright Is what you told me Cause what we had was so beautiful Feel heavy like floating At the bottom of the sea You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Is such a long and lonely time Some devil is stuck inside of me Why can't I set it free I wish, I wish I was dead and you were breathing Just so that you could know Some angel is stuck inside of me But can I set you free? You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Such a long and lonely time Stuck inside of me Love is always and forever.... so thanks for teaching me to suffer through it without you ex.... |
