Love your cat so attentive to your hibiscus class . ❤❤
We have kept our hibiscus plant/tree for almost 30 years. The last couple of years had minimal blooms. Being that we could not recall when we last refreshed the soil, this last Spring I took outside to repot. Well to say it was rootbound would be an understatement. The roots were thicker than most of the trunk and branches. There was no "teasing out" the roots to be done. So, I sprayed all of the potting mix out and off the roots as possible with the hose. Put fresh potting mix in the pot and replanted her. She was left outside all Spring and Summer, dropping leaves from the high winds and watered every couple of days due to drought conditions. Before Labor Day she was sprayed off to get any dust and bugs off then a little insecticidal soap, then brought indoors.
Now, she is at the front entrance of the house blooming like she has never bloomed before! I was doubtful she would ever bloom again after such rough treatment. We were so concerned that we took half a dozen cuttings in case she but the dust. Well now I have 6 plants growing nicely in containers alongside the "mother tree."
Nice story. What potting soil did you use?
@@Gtumrths the organic potting soil from costco
This is super hopeful for me! I just got my fathers hibiscus plant because he hasn’t been getting any blooms off of it for almost a year maybe more now. So I’m researching and researching to see what could be wrong! He was also on city water so I wonder if just after some time city water, it’s just struggling now. The leaves are also turning yellow and some are turning brown. So I wonder if the plant is lacking a nutrient.
@@rlopez18m Mine shows some "shock" after bringing her inside for the Winter. She had a little more than normal yellowing leaves than most years. I didn't get the chance to bring her in gradually. She used to go in the garage for a couple of days, then into the house.
I just brought 2 hibiscus plants and I haven't planted them in the ground yet. But they are so beautiful and after they bloom you can dry out the flowers and make you a tea with them.
he actually answered all of my queries for hibiscus. Thanks much
I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to hibiscus, but in three years tis is the best information I have seen! 🌺
Thank you for all the tips. This was very helpful.
Hi Jenni, check some cool merch here: teespring.com/live-life-in-full-bloom-2020?tsmac=store&tsmic=plant-addix&pid=226
Great pointers ,thank you !
you re very knowledgeable, thanks for the tips!
Very helpful. Thanks so much!
I hope you enjoyed, and thanks for watching. Plant prudently!
This was the best and most informative video on hibiscus I have watched. Thank you for the great info delivered in a straight forward, well-organized way. Loved the kitty too!
That means a lot! Thank you for the encouragement and support. If you have anymore questions on hibiscus make sure you check out hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com they have a plethora of information on them. Plant prudently!
Good info on the hibiscus! Yes, they are sensitive to water requirements. I learned of a very easy and inexpensive method to remove chlorine etc from regular tap water from a gardening You-Tuber: water conditioner for fish aquariums. Need ONE DROP per gallon of regular water. I purchased an 16 oz bottle of TAP water conditioner from Amazon for about $8. I put some into a dropper bottle to add to my watering can each time I water -- this bottle will last forever. And results have proven to me that it works for all my house plants and outdoor potted plants.
I love the video as usual! Keep it up! So informative too!
Glad you liked my videos! Yours have always been really good too. You need to come out with some new ones!!
hey Red, check some cool stuff here: teespring.com/live-life-in-full-bloom-2020?tsmac=store&tsmic=plant-addix&pid=226
Excellent advice. My Mum has had a hibiscus since before I was born and we're still using healthy cuttings from it! We live in the UK and have them indoors from October to early May, but in summer they love it outdoors...except if it's windy! If you leave them outdoors in extended strong wind, the leaves get limp and even shredded from drying and flapping and the flowers don't stand a chance. I always think of them as a tropical forest plant, hence them not needing too much extended sun and not liking the wind.
Thank you. That's so cool that you guys are able to do that. I love hibiscus plants. Their flowers are just as pretty as a rose or an orchid. Definitely more colorful. I currently have two in a 6 in pot that are hanging out in my grow room under the LED. They're right at home. You should check out hidden valley hibiscus online. They have soooooo much information on hibiscus care and a huge online shop that you can purchase beautiful plants from at cheap prices too. I've gotten two from them and once spring hits I'm gonna buy more. Thanks for telling me about the wind. Generally I keep my smaller ones on the porch hidden by the house but the larger ones are out in the yard left to their own devices.

How do they do with a grow light?
Helpful video, thanks
Thank you❣️
Thank you for sharing
Thank you
Great content buddy!!!
THANKOU🌼
Literally the most useful video so far thank you for your knowledge!!
I’ll have to bring mine in come fall. Thank u
I always have to too. Kentucky gets fairly cold winters. You're welcome!
The Green Alchemist GA is chilly as well. Mine is in a larger pot... so I have to repot it since I can’t lift it currently. Should I repot it now, leave it outside till fall and allow it to adjust, or do u suggest I wait till fall and do it all in one go. I wanna minimize any shock I put her through. Wish me luck.

Nice
You are an encyclopedia. Freak. I just subscribed. lol
Thank you for checking out my channel and subscribing! Plant prudently!!
Nice pilosocereus!
Thank you. They are one of my favorite cacti that I have. I've had them a while too!
Great advice especially when you remarked about what soil stores use to sell plant, no nutritional value! I lost a few plants before I investigated
Yeah I had to learn this the hard way. I thought, these people raised this plant why wouldn't they give it enough nutrients to survive? Naive!
Hi Suzanne, check some hibiscus stuff here: teespring.com/live-life-in-full-bloom-2020?tsmac=store&tsmic=plant-addix&pid=226
The suppliers are the ones who actually know how to take care of these plants properly, The chain stores that sell them only push the products they sell so yeah it's best to look around online or speak with someone who knows how to take care of these plants. I recently lost a parlor palm and my pink pink polka dot plant by using the products from said chain stores.
What does phosphorus do to your plant? I’m wondering if that’s what’s stunting my plans from growing. I’ve been using organic bonemeal and fish fertilizer.
So I got a California Hibiscus trees during summer, and I’m in NC
our winter this year will most def touch 20 at night.. so you’re saying mulch will help it through the winter?
I just finished the whole video. And wow I don’t even know why they were selling them at sam’s club when our weather is so bipolar. Looks like I need to uproot them soon
My Hibiscus are outside plants. The branches dies over the winter. Will the plant come back? Do I need to break off all the dead branches?
In regards to watering with hard water.... would it be helpful to give my hibiscus (about the size of yours) a gallon of distilled water every couple of weeks, and the rest of the time continue watering with my hose (which might have hard water). Also do you know if this would be helpful for my other plants as well, to occasionally give them a good watering with distilled water? Thanks so much for this super helpful video.
I no longer water any of my plants but my money tree with tap water. Ever since I've started using distilled water my plants have flourished and not one has died or been sick. I'd say stick to distilled and not use hard water on your plants. You can even set up some pots/containers to catch rain water and use that as well.
Video tip: Take audio AWAY from traffic. With the camera pointed at the road, it picks up every car going by. Camera on the other side, between hedge and plant will pick up more voice and less traffic, even with the same number of cars :)
Great video. In regards to water: when you have several hibiscus distilled water can get a bit expensive. Can I just leave tap water sitting out for 24 hours and then use it ? You didn't mention how often to fertilize. Thank you.
you might want to fertilize once every month and a half, that’s what i do with mine and it flowers like crazy! you can let the water sit but what i do is just use hose water
I believe you're supposed to stop fertilizing during the winter and resume in the spring. I buy the gallon bottles of water that are no more than $1.35 each or cheaper. Usually one whole bottle will be sufficient for a medium to large hibiscus plant per week.
Spider mites always used to get my mom and dad's.
Scale, mealy bugs, and spider mites are the devils trifecta when it comes to pests. Scale is almost impenetrable, mealy bugs wont go away unless you get chemicals involved like rubbing alcohol, and Spider mites spread like the wind. If you don't catch them fast enough you could have an infestation in no time flat. Fortunately they are sometimes the easiest to remove. Simply spray them off out back with the garden hose or do it in your bathtub and the water generally knocks them off. If it is an infestation, you can rub the plant down with neem oil or rubbing alcohol on a wash cloth to knock off the stragglers.

I just watched a few videos on hibiscus care and I am very confused as some of you guys say that the highest number on the fertiliser should be for phosphorus in order for hibiscus to bloom and of course you say it is potassium... what should I do? Please comment
This is in a previous post: "Hibiscus enjoy high amounts of potassium, moderate amounts of nitrogen and low amounts of Phosphorus in their fertilizers. With water it's not uncommon for growers to water their plant up to two or three times in one day when temperatures are over 100. Look your plant over too. They could end up having an minor infestation that will stress em out and prevent flowering. If you monitor these steps your plant should flower, a lot."
I buy a soil that is specifically for hibiscus and sprinkle a small amount of bone meal pellets and my hibiscus plants have been flourishing fine. I used to have them indoors because my last apartment did not have outside space and we would get a good amount of sun coming in the living room but we moved to a new apartment where it's dark and gets very little light, had to put them outside they are doing well. I do need to go and by that vegetable garden pest spray, noticed the other day one has mites.
I keep mine out year round , I cover with the freeze blanket seems to work .... Soak it prior . Doesn't seem to hurt my plant.
Where do you live? Well yeah, I'd say if you protect them with the winters most of us are having now in modern times they would be just fine.
There is what appears to be mold at the bottom of some of my leavesshould i cut the leaves away?
I would. I would remove any infected leaves and either burn them or throw them in a ziplock bag and then throw them in the trash. I wouldn't compost either, though many pathogens rarely survive this process. If the infested leaves touch others they could spread fairly easily, especially if its fungi, so be careful when pruning. After removing I would treat with a copper fungicide too. In the future don't get much water on the leaves or any place that had it.
Do they get frosted
Tell me how you are supposed to give it distilled water when its a 6 ft plant in the ground? My plant gets alot of yellow leaves. It gets about 6 hrs south west sun daily. If i water too much leaves turn yellow if i let it dry a bit for a few days leaves turn yellow. Very frustrating. I live in a very warm climate. Guess it was just a bad choice but now its big and id like to find its sweet spot. Can someone help me!? ?thx
I am wondering if you could give it 3 or 4 gallons of distilled water once a month.... pour 3-4 gallons of water on the soil all around the plant...when it soak down it might possibly help eliminate the hard water build up on the roots. The other option is a gallon of distilled a week but I feel like the larger volume of distilled water once a month might be better because it would penetrate deep down into the roots. I don't know if it will help, but maybe it's worth a try. Best wishes
@@mbrights3158 thanks for advice. I will give it a shot. I will let u know if it works..
@@mbrights3158 well i tried it. 3 gal distilled. Will let u know if it works. Do thet like to dry out a bit or have slightly moist soil?
Hi kitty cat! :)
is urine good for Hibiscus? (it works wonders on bougainvillia, so I was wondering)
*diluted urine, of course
@@subtitledEN whats the dilution number ratio ?
@@eduardoochoa1786
1:10 aprox.
Every other week. So, say, 1st week: water with urine. 2nd week: NPK. And repeat. You should see results within 4-5 weeks. And of course don't over water, and place the plant in ample sunlight.
We're talking about Bougainvillea of course :-D
@@subtitledEN ok , so it could be 1 part urine 9 parts water dilutions in a water can ?
@@eduardoochoa1786 yes. that's right.
Question can the Hibiscus survive the Pennsylvania winter’s
Tropical ones, negative. However there are hardy ones that can be overwintered to survive zone 4. I bring my tropical ones indoors. Sit them under some full spectrum LED grow lights and turn the humidifier on and they're happy as can be.
Why is it that I have 2 hibiscus plants in pots in my front yard one is beautiful the other not so
What can I do
Thank you
It really could be any number of reasons. The first would be that one of the two was not a healthy specimen. Sickly or stressed out plants are an all you can eat buffet for pests and diseases. Check your weaker plant out with a bright light. Look over and under every leaf, stem, flower and over the soil too. Do you see anything, any discoloration? If so you can use rubbing alcohol on a wash cloth or some neem oil and apply fairly liberally. Though be careful if you use neem oil, it does smell a little. The next reason would be how you are caring for them both. What are you feeding them and how often? How often do you water? How much light are they both getting? What size containers are they in? Where are you located? Let me know and I'll see what we are up against.
My hibiscus plant has tinny little white bugs on it. How do I get rid of them
get the vegetable garden spray he mentioned, Dr. Earth brand
Can I use tap water after letting it sit out for a day or 2?
That's what I do. I let it set out for a day before using it.
I now know less about hibiscus after watching this video, than before I started it.
Don't be embarrassed, what can I clear up for you?
How big of a pot does hibiscus does it need
Just depends on the size of the plant, smaller ones can go in a 6 inch pot for a year. The larger ones can be in a 10 inch pot for a couple of years. Of course larger pots can be ok too as long as they aren't considerably larger than the plant. At most you only want to jump two pot sizes from the current pot it was in when you bought it.
Jamaica lol
Omg!! I can't get past the noise.....
Watch a different video. I can't help that people drive cars. Trust me it's way past my pay grade.
Great info delivered in an absurdly noisy location! Why???
That's where I lived. At the time this was the only way I could record. Now I have better equipment so I should no longer have to deal with people and their loud absurdities.
Uh seriously...isn't it obvious that is traffic? Isn't it obvious that is his house? It was very obvious to me.
My leaves are turning yellow. Too much water? Too much sunlight? Sigh....
Please watch your cat not getting onto the street and get hit by a car. You live on a very busy street. Thanks for the Video!
You sound like you're standing on a freeway. Jeez.
Lol I used to live off of a super busy road. We tried to adjust the EQ to make it more tolerable and edit around it but it was almost impossible. I recently moved away from the city though so it should no longer be a problem!
Perhaps it'd be worth buying a lavalier mic? The background noise made it difficult to watch.
Rocks are dangerous
filter water? distilled water? you smoke crack much? crazy
