Foliage On Hibiscus

Question

I have a white blooming hibiscus (plant A in Photo). All the other plants I have observed in nurseries have a greater thickness of foliage as in plant B photo. Is there anything I can do to encourage a dense foliage on the plant A?

Answer 1

You will want to test the soil in that area. It could be that there isn't enough nitrogen in the soil. You'll want to feed according to what a soil test says is deficient. Outside of that, good care, proper pruning, and full sun will ensure that it looks its best.
