Barb I am not CB, but have a few Hibiscus' doing well. Can you tell a few things about your hibiscus' until Chocolate Brug comes by?

Like water habits, how much sun do they get? Fertilizing? Got a picture? HOW are they dying? What are the signs?

I would hate for you to loose another one...I love them a lot

Lucy

Thanks Lucy
Now That's What i am Talking
About, Stepping Up To Help
Someone For Chocolate Brug.

Now That's What I Call a Friend. Lucy!!!!!!!

Barb Please Tell Us Whats Going On.
Secondly, If You Loose Some Don't
Worry Chocolate Brug Can Always
Share His Hibiscus With You.

Chocolate Brug

Thanks my friends...I am embarassed to say I am failing..lol

Darn it! lol Okay they are losing leaves and the leaves are turning yellow...I do have them in miracle gro and half perilite... How much water do they need? I water them every other day... Oh thank you so much for helping me Choc and Lucy... I really do love them...:) You will laugh at me if I take a pic...I suck at tropical hibiscus...:(

I went and took their pic...Ho hum lol I am a bad mommy but I do have one in bud :) Help please...I am posting big so you all can see...Sorry for big pics... Blueberry thrill is a goner... It has roots? I am in process of losing Tusanimi sp lol

ps those are fake flowers in there (background) hahah a girl has to has flowers... Weather they are real or not..:)

Barb I am with you, that blueberry thrill looks dead above the ground.

Tsunami looks like it is putting on new growth but I do not know what bugs bother mine, but when I see that the leaves turn inwards and get kind of crunchy...I rinse them off real good on a daily basis...After about 1 week they grow normal leaves and a lot. I know CB or anybody else familiar with hibiscus' and critters can help you better. But unfortunately water is all my plants get to see to make them feel better when bad critters attack them.

Now your last one is very healthy looking.

As for watering...when I got into Hibiscus' I read that the can not dry out but do not like wet feet. So I basically water mine every day. But then we have 100 plus daily. I adjust with temps.
You can also over fertilize them. You are suppose to do it in the spring and then again in the fall once. But mine are in MG lol and every once in a blue moon I give them a dose of water hose end spray fertilizer...Bite me, I could not come up with the name of that thing.

CB we are all in this together...so many times I got rescued by one or another here. Or should I say my plants still live thanks to you :-)

Lucy

Thank you Lucy my wonderful friend! I was dosing her with water...I was thinking bugs too... Finally I threw her out the door after spraying her with Malathon and said if you are not better... I am tossing you... I hope not to lose her...But a mom can try so hard....lol Thank you Lucy for helping me... I will let you know...Hugs

well not lots of help, just what I am doing with mine.
Besides I hope that one day I figure out how to root them...or I wonder...hey who knows if you can take a cutting from a hibiscus and just send it out? Since I am failing in rooting them...does not mean the person who wants one, will fail.

Cause the 2 year old Hibiscus' are REALLY big this year and sure would give up a few cuttings.

What I really wanted to say is that I have Tsunami too and when it gets big enough...I will love to share with you!!!!!!

Lucy

Nancy here I bet would know...She sent me a varigated hibiscus...Yes it didnt make it either...I am thinking they need lots of humidity..Just a newb guess..:) Thank you for the help...Maybe we need old timers to chime in to help us?

Barb
Every Thing Lucy Has Spoken Is Well
Said.

As Far As The Blueberry Thrill!!

Do Not Throw It Away. I Have Seen
Them Come Back Below The Soil Line
Many Of Times, Just Do Not Water It.
Set It Off To The Side And Allow It
To Recover. But Do Not Water It At
All.

Barb, Take Your Fingernail And
Scratch The Top Of The Blueberry
Thrill To See If You See Any Green.
If Not You Can Go Ahead And Clip The
Die-back Off.

Also Barb, Your Zone is a Lot Cooler
Than Lucy, So You Can Back Off The Watering
a Little. They Really Don't Care For
There Feet To Be Water-Log.

If You Lose Any Let Me Know I Have
Something Nice I Can Send You That
You Will Love.

Chocolate Brug

Thank you choc! Just needing your advice :) Yours are amazing.... I will try that scratching and I did back off the water too... I will wait my friend and let you all know..I was worried about Malathon after I sprayed her and told her I was tossing her...I read that hibiscus dont like this bug deterant... I am so trying to make them happy in Wi... Thank you once again...Hugs Barb

Lucy I Have Rooted A Many Of Hibiscus
Cuttings. I Have Several Ways That I Root
Them Depending On The Moment I Walk By And
Clip a Cutting. I Have Water Rooted Some
And Some i Have Clip And Tuck Them In The
Same Pot As There Mother. It Is As If The
Mother Plant Are Seeing After Her Baby.
It Never Fail They Will Root Every Time
And It Don't Matter What Variety I Am Rooting
It Works.

Also I Have I Have Taken About 20 Cuttings
And Place Them All In A Potting Mix Together
And They All Take Off. Normally I Place The
Pot Of Cuttings Under a Fruit Tree For Shade
And They Love It.

Here Are a Few Pictures Of Some Cuttings
That Are Sitting In Water Tonight And
Have Begun Sending Out Roots.

Chocolate Brug

thank you for showing how well rooting works in 2 ways for you. I guess I need to get busy and go take cuttings and try again. Maybe the TIME was just not right.

Oh chocolate Brug that bridal Bouquet looks somewhat like my butterball but I like the tint of white in it a lot.

But boy that Cherry Appaloosa sure is a looker!!! WOW I do not think I have seen that one anywhere yet.

To bad it is dark already or I would go and take them right now. You are a inspiration that YES I CAN!!

Thanks friend

Lucy

That is wonderful Choc... I am moving to Florida...hahaha

Thank you for teaching us and spending your time...:) Mucho appreciated... Your hibiscus are wonderful! :) i will enjoy through you and Lucy...Hugs

All I do to root my hibiscus is cut them and stick in a gallon pot or larger of potting soil. I keep them in the greenhouse and keep moist. It takes a little time and all of them do not root. When something starts eating the leaves, I just sprinkle a little Sevin dust on them. I'm rooting some more of the tropical hibiscus now Barb. I'll send you another one later.
Nancy

Thank you Nancy :) I will get some more sevin dust.. I used all of it on my brugs in spring time... Thanks once again

Here is a link that might be useful: http://hibiscusplace.com/html/order.html

Chocolate Brug I have been on that page but there is only the shipping charges for the different zones. Nothing for how much the plant itself cost :-( This is odd

Thanks though CB. When I am ready I will just e mail them. Cause they sure got some awesome looking ones I would not mind adding lol

By the time I SHIP them...I might as well order them lol

Lucy

CB, CAN I ask since you're so close to me, DO you have problems with scale? I have terrible problems with scale on the buds. THANKS,as always,LUV Bri

Bri I Have Not Had Any
Problem With MY Hibiscus.

Chocolate Brug

Wow, what a great bunch of hibiscus! Looks like they are all sold out of spring stock and a wee bit late with the fall stuff. So far, I love Orion's Rings, Rosalind and Ruby Slippers! Then there is Silver Memories, wow!

Talk about a bunch of enablers!
