March 22, 2018A.Just before dormancy breaks is a good time for transplants if the soil isn't too wet. Try to avoid compacting the soil by using a section of plywood to distribute your weight. Give the plant a few weeks to recover from the shock before you fertilize. A 2 inch layer of compost can be applied under the drip line for a nice, slow fertilizer.

March 24, 2018A.Make sure the plant is happy in it's new location.
Watering issues are a likely reason for yellowing leaves. New planting should be watered daily for the first few weeks, but the soil should be well draining.

Plattsmouth, NE - Zone 5BQ.Wintering a hibiscus
I wintered my sister's hibiscus. It's in a large pot and I placed it in a west window. It lost lots and lots of leaves at the onset but then that slowed down - some of them just turned yellow and I pinched them off. But the plant has continued to bloom. It is now the beginning of April and it has at least a dozen buds on it. I want to prune it so it will leaf out but I don't want to hinder the blooms. What should i do?

Certified ExpertA.You will have to hinder the blooms to make it healthy again, unfortunately. Now is the time to prune them down to the preferred height. This article will guide you on the proper pruning of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/tips-for-pruning-hibiscus-plants-when-to-prune-hibiscus.htm

Certified ExpertA.Can you include photos? This can be due to many things from nitrogen deficiency, to pests. Have you noticed any webbing or any sign of infestation? This is usually the first cause. A photo can help me further to identify the issue.

April 16, 2018Q.Pruning a standard hibiscus
Is there a way to stop shoots from the base when you have a hibiscus growing as a standard ie single trunk? My hibiscus are 12 ft tall with a single trunk and now have numerous shoots from the ground also 12 ft tall. when I cut these shoots at ground level can I, say ,put kerosene on the cut surface to stop them shooting again (like banana suckers) or something else that will not hurt the main plant?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
April 16, 2018A.I don't recommend putting kerosene or any herbicide on the cut ends, because that could damage the roots and the entire plant. The best way to control suckers is to just patiently reomove them when they're small and to prune the rest of the tree regularly but not excessively:
