Default hibiscus failing

I learned from a former boss who grew up on the mississippi delta that the hibiscus is a second cousin to the cotton plant. Certain lawn chemicals can cause a boron deficiency, and the application of epsom salts to the ground around the plants solves the problem. I had this issue on several condo properties I managed, and his solution worked well.
