Much of what you mention has already be done...like the Systemic. I still think the yellowing is in response to the damage from the White Flies. They can destroy the bottom side of the leaves in a couple days. You never mentioned this as the cause of the yellowing??? I just bought this Hibiscus. So--it has a ways to go. They come in 3 gal, black, nursery pots. I transplanted it to a 14" pot and gave it a good dose of Systemic granules. Thank you for the idea of using a light on it for the winter. When winter is here--my house has about 100 plants all over. it is tricky to place everything where it will semi-thrive. I have NO idea where this Hibiscus will end up. So far--for the many years I ave been doing this with all my plants--nothing has ever died. Here's what my LR looks like all winter... Gita |
