over fertilized hibiscus

Question

Help! Accidentally fertilized my potted hibiscus plants twice within a 3 week period with Scotts all purpose flower & veg. continuous release plant food (10-10-10). Leaves are limp & turning yellow. Still have blooms but not sure if new buds will remain or drop off. Should I gently remove plants from container & repot with new soil?

Answer 1

You can try flushing the soil with water to dilute it and lessen the damage. But other than this, there's little you can do. This article should also help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/hpgen/signs-of-over-fertilization-in-houseplants.htm
