Lack of Water in Hot Month

Question

My hibiscus plants did not get watered while I was on vacation, for 6 days. They looked like they were dead. I started watering daily, the stalks and some leaves are coming back green. Will they recover completely?

Answer 1

Hard to say for sure but it sounds fairly positive that your hibiscus is putting out new growth. You may want to trim any old or unhealthy branches and keep a check on the soil moisture so the plant doesn't get too dry (or too wet, which is just as bad).
