Aphids love Hibiscus especially the buds take a good look and use whatever plant pest control you use to get rid of them.
In late Nov. early Dec. cut them back about 1/4 then say mid March cut them back about 1/2 then fertilize and wallah...around June fertilize again.
For the little one that got hit by the cold coax it along with some TLC..and it should come back.
Aphids are public enemy #1 for Hibiscus tiny little green monsters. Here is an almost " Free " pest control solution formula.A generous 1 tsp of Dawn to a hand spray bottle of water..and your Hibiscus will be fine..forever more.  |
Many thanks! Looking for an almost empty spray bottle right now.
