What should the pH be this time of year? I live in NY state and it has been cool and very wet this summer. I have not put my plant outside at all this year. Potted, my plant stands about 5' 6 inches. It also needs some trimming at the top. I have only had two blossoms this summer. I don't know why it seems to be stagnant in this area. The leaves are growing well. Some seem to be quite big (new leaf growth). Could you give me some hints? I killed one of these plants two years ago. I believe it got too cold in our bedroom in the winter. I love to watch this plant grow each day. I want it to continue to be happy.

My giant red Hibiscus leaves are being eaten by a tiny green caterpillar-type insect. What can be done other than daily pinching?

My hibiscus was full of buds and bloomed for a month and half. Now it has stopped blooming. It seems like it's just stopped, but the buds are starting to grow even though they look like they are stunted.
How long should a hibiscus blossom last? Mine blossomed fantastic one day and overnight it closed and has not opened up.
Do Hibiscus change color? I planted a red one and the next year it came back pink. Does it have something to do with the soil acidity?
It could be a lack of nutrients in the soil, or that the plant is getting more sun than it did last year. Both of these can influence the vividness of color on the flower. It may also be that the original plant was grafted and the scion (the part you saw last year) died and was replaced by the rootstock which produces a different color.
I have several hardy hibiscus plants. The plants are hardy in the midwest zones down to 30 degrees below zero and can double in size and grow up tp 6 feet high in 3 years. I would like to split the plants, but do not know the best time or how to do it. I need some help.
There are many species of hibiscus. The overall majority are best propagated through cuttings. However, hardy hibiscus can be divided and is usually done so in spring. It can be divided by cutting the plant in half. Stick a shovel in the middle of the plant between the stalks and cut straight down into the root ball. Then dig out from around the plant (about a foot around). Pop them up out of the ground and then replant.
