July 19, 2022A.Summer can be a difficult time for hibiscus as well as many other plants, who develop smaller blooms/foliage if environmental conditions are not favorable for blooming. The plant is also trying to grow new branches from below so consider cutting those new leaves/branches.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage. Too much water is one of many reasons to see yellowing leaves. I would test the soil for as many factors as possible to know for sure:

August 5, 2022Q.Hibiscus Plants- Unsure Of Exact Names-zone 8 Or 9 Depending On Whom Is Asked.
I have 4 hibiscus plants, I think they are 4 years old. They have been wintered outside and in spring they have always returned vigorously and flowered quite well. This year all of them are 2-3 feet shorter than seasons past. Each year as they re-grow I add soil to the top of the container but have not ever dug down around them and replaced the soil. They are in very large containers in the full sun, barely shaded by a dogwood tree, watered twice a day when necessary- fertilized regularly- I cannot come up with a reason they are all shorter. Any ideas? thank you I would apprciate a notice via e-mail.
