Q.Squirrels eating potted hibiscus plant
I have a BEAUTIFUL hibiscus plant with large bright yellow flowers. Squirrels just started eating it! They literally climb into the pot and eat the leaves from the stalk. I live in western VA in the Shenandoah Valley. I have a cousin in Richmond, VA who has the same problem with squirrels eating her hibiscus plant. They do not disturb any other plant in my yard or in pots. I do not leave food out to feed the squirrels either. Any suggestions for me? I tried some mixture of hot pepper and caynenne powder and sprayed the plant but that did not help.

Here is an article that will help you keep squirrels out of your garden:
