  1. My hibiscus is not the normal tropical variety.It is cold tolerant, is called a giant hibiscus.Blooms are the size of a dinner plate.I have mine in huge pots.My question is this.When the flower has wilted at the end of the day, should I pull them off?Thank you.

  2. Thank you! I just bought a huge Hibiscus, in memory of my dad, and I'm delighted you had tips I've not seen. Have a good week!

  3. Is there a name for the mixture he notes at the end? I am not really in a position to try and buy each, combine, and spray, it seems very technical (getting mixture, volumes, correct, etc.,) vs buying this as a product? Searched all three terms in a combined search and of course the results include a mix (no pun intended) of the individual items. Help! I just got a baby twisted hibiscus and it has had a few flowers, but I've noticed a couple droopy leaves, and there are some turning yellow. I am southern facing in a city that gets 300 days of sunlight…might just need more water and to be potted but looking at all options as I would love to nurture this baby for years until it is full grown!
