June 24, 2013Q.Hibiscus Blooms
My hibicus is covered with buds. They usually fall off before opening. I feed them with Miracle Gro every 2 weeks but not happy with the blooming. We have very few blooms (1 or 2) & then buds are on the ground. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

June 25, 2013A.Years ago, a "little old lady" told me, "Honey, you need to fertilize weekly, weakly." I've never forgotten, and now say it often. Always follow package directions. But, I'm also a proponent of the idea of diluting the package's recommendations to 25% and administering four time more often. (Ie, 2 teaspoons fertilizer to 1 gallon water, once a month...i'd use 1/2 teaspoon weekly.) I've found a well-balanced fertilizer is better for plants than one with wide differences in NPK%'s. I prefer 20-20-20 or 10-10-10. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/hibiscus-flowers-hibiscus-blossoms-falling-off-plant.htm

July 4, 2013Q.Why Are My Hibiscus Blooms Falling Off Just as They Are Ready to Open
I live in the Texas Hills Country - Zone 9 - and last year my one hibiscus bloomed beautifully. I have another one this year and recently both had started to drop their blooms just as they are about to open. What am I doing wrong?

August 13, 2013Q.Pests on My Hibiscus Bush
What can I use to get rid of whatever is eating the lower leaves off my hibiscus bush? We cannot use any pesticides or fertilizer in Pinellas, County until the rainy season is over in October. Also, when is a good time to cut my bushes back to get them to look fuller. They are young plants about 3 feet tall but looking kind of scrawny.

Certified ExpertA.Yes, there is. You need to determine if it is dead or not. This article will help with that:
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/how-to-tell-if-a-plant-is-dead-and-how-to-recover-an-almost-dead-plant.htmIf it is not dead, you should be able to save it. Hibiscus a pretty resilient and will regrow leaves if they lose them as long as you continue to water it and give it proper light.
