Re: Hibiscus

I inherited a Blue Bird Hibiscus when I moved here 5years ago.
It looked like large twig stuck in the garden(it was January).Luckily I left it alone and it's become a lovely large bush covered with blue flowers.

Re: Hibiscus

So .... what have you decided/discovered ? Julie
And....what will you do ?

Re: Hibiscus

We have put a saucer under the pots to capture more water, give the plants a chance Malcolm they are only just deciding if they like that arrangement.

Re: Hibiscus

Not a good idea to sit a pot in water Julie !

Re: Hibiscus

I'm doing what was suggested Malcolm I will see how it goes, they have two chances now live or die.

Re: Hibiscus

They will certainly die if you leave them standing in water !
Did you check for vine weevil ?

Re: Hibiscus

Well they will die then and we will have learned a lesson. Although many of our plants we stand in water and have no problem so I'm not sure how true it is watering from the bottom is so bad.

Re: Hibiscus

Ok Julie you do what you want....but I won't be offering you my advice any more.

Re: Hibiscus

Oh dear

Re: Hibiscus

I don't think she will be worried Mags....do you
