Whenever i see yellow hibiscus flowers, it reminds me of my dad. He loved yellow hibiscus plants.
Hibiscus growing truly is a bit of an art and experience does show when you know which rules to 'break'. I live in Trinidad and Tobago, and a lot of us with hybrids find full sun isn't great for potted hybrids. For the standard hibiscus, fine, it'll thrive. But down here, 3-4 hours direct sun, and rest of the day in a bright, well lit place for indirect sun, is perfect.
Wish I had the expertise Byron has so I can problem solve better.
Thank you for this short presentation. I was looking for a short "how to" that hit all the major points to show to a friend who has a potted hibiscus. This hit the major points, was concise, and clear.
I was there yesterday and I absolutely was smitten with this. My daughter took a photo for me.
Nice beautiful colours. Perfect presentation and photography. Thanks
Beautiful hibiscus!
Amazing flowers 👍👌🙏🌺
Thank you for this informative video. I grow these plants too.
Great advice. I'm just learning how to take care of hibiscuses now. Thanks!
My children were raised on Oahu, Hi and called them hickups. Here on Tucson, Az they are growing all around our pool. They are beautiful. Tfs.
Hi, I put 5 to 7 red flowers in a bowl and add some water. I use it for hair growth vitamine.
YES, information helps a lot :)
I like this flower very much
I am from India, ur hibiscus plants sooooooo nice!
Dear I cannot understand me in English but what you are saying but I can say your garden is very well and plants are so healthy
Great video.
I love these plants and have bought a number from you. However, I eventually have trouble indoors with them due to pests, mostly whiteflies. Are there good ways to prevent pests without dangerous chemicals? Thanks
+Bill Morcom Spray with pure neem oil 2 tbl and 4 tsp of dishwashing detergent. It’s a safe product. Just make sure you do repeat application at a week apart. 3 times usually is what it takes.
I have several of Logees 🌺
thank you for the very informative video.

Gr8 work
Very Happy for You ,sir.
Dear sir
What is the best potting mix for hibiscus,?
We usually suggest a well-draining mix free of any slow release fertilizers. We use 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 pine bark, and 1/3 pearlite.
@@LogeesPlants thank you sir,you are awesome
Did i miss it what fertilizer to use for potted plants.? I have yellow leaves but plant is inside i live i N.M
Why does bloom suddenly open up completely, and just as suddenly close in one day? Such a shame this beautiful flower only lasts one day.
Just so I understand - do you fertilize during the winter? I live in Canada where I bring in my hibiscus plants (in pots) about September when the temps dip into the 40's at night.
I find they go dormant in winter (so don't feed them) and I put them either in south or north facing windows. South get more sun, of course, but since they're not flowering, does it matter? I found the north windows to provide adequate light with slightly cooler temps (as there is no direct sunlight to heat up the plant). Would appreciate some advice. Hope this is not too long! Thanks.
+Wendy Willow No generally stop feeding in the winter October to March especially if temperatures drop below 65 consistently. At this time of the year there isn’t; enough light in day length or light intensity to promote plant growth and thus use the fertilizer given. Under cool temperatures where the root system is cold plants don’t absorb the fertilizer very well. A south is better for hibiscus is you have the room as they will come into flower earlier as the season progresses. But a north window will hold them until they can be moved outside for the summer.
+LogeesPlants OK so for us up here in Canada, the temps drop below 65 in September pretty consistently and we can't put our hibs back outdoors until mid-May.
Often I see new growth about February (indoors, of course) and sometimes even flower buds, but usually it takes the real outdoor sunshine for the flowers to emerge. That being said - I had 1 lonely bloom yesterday on my "tree" hibiscus - one of the ones sitting in a north facing window. No other buds however. Wish I could add a photo here.
I do usually start to add fertilizer when the new leaves come out (around Feb as stated above). Thanks.
I hv a hibiscus plant but the bud falls before it blooms !! What must I do pl advise
My hibiscus plant is healthy but the flower only opens 1 day and closes then fall off is this normal? Thank u please help.
This is normal. Flowers don't last that long, unfortunately.
Thank you for your respond.
How about pruning?
Question - Are tropical hibiscus edible like the other kind?
The only variety that we carry that is meant for human consumption is the Roselle Hibiscus www.logees.com/roselle-jamaican-hibiscus-hibiscus-sabdariffa.html?
My habiscus plant has now dropping leaves? Do not what to do
I have a beautiful Hibiscus Potted, I have it outside all summer,and bring inside during the colder months, it has even blossoms inside, also new leaves, however right now, it's leaves are turning yellow and falling off, is this something that is natural or is there something I must do to save it. It has one other time lost all its' leaves and then filled out again. Thank You if you have any answers to what I might do different
These do tend to go into a semi-dormancy and will lose most of their foliage during the winter months. Come spring time, they usually start taking off with flushes of new growth.
Can i keep my hibiscus out side in full sun during the months of summer when heat and sun is at its peak ?
Yes, just make sure to slowly acclimate it into the full sun or it can bleach the leaves.
@@LogeesPlants ok
Thanx for ur reply, advice and suggestion.
Hi,
is NPK 20-20-20 okay or is it too high?
Also, what about urine fertilizer? it's great for bougainvillea, does it help with hibiscus too?
A balanced fertilizer is fine for hibiscus. We would go a little lower, like a 7-9-5. Urea is typically not used because it throws off the balance.
Hi, I just purchased two “spin the bottle” Hibiskiss (how it is spelled on the tag) the flowers close and open and many are falling off. Is there anything I can do to prevent the flower from falling off the plant? I am a beginner at plant growing. I plan to repot them and leave it on my balcony I live in South Florida so there is plenty of sun.
Unfortunately, the flowers on these only last a day or so.

Help my hibiscus' leaves are turning yellow and I live on a tropical island it gets full sun
Do you guys think it's too much sun?
No, Leaf yellowing can be from dryness or lack of fertilizer. Or both

How to grow its cutting
You can dip the cutting in a rooting hormone and then plant in unfertilized soil. Make sure the soil stays consistently moist.
Please use peat free composts.
My hibiscus becomes yellow before their blooming 😭
Are you fertilizing the plant at all? If so, what is the NPK value on the fertilizer and how often is it being applied?
What fertiliser do I use ?
Any balanced fertilizer will work.
