WHAT IS HAPPENING???

11 years ago

Ok so my Hibuscus I got back in July was doing fantastic until this morning, it had beautiful green leaves, giant flowers, and it was lush and full. Now, the flowers are small, the leaves are yellowing and falling off. There are no signs of Spider mites (Which I've had in the past on my other plants), or any aphids, scale, etc. The only thing I could think of that might be causing it to do this is that it has been really hot here (NY, Long Island) and very humid. So, I have to water my plants more, but I've been noticing some mold forming on the top of the soil of most of my plants. Another factor might have been transplant shock since I've transplanted it recently (Yes, I know, kind of a careless move doing it at the end of summer, I'm not sure what I was thinking.) So maybe it's going through transplant shock? I'm really not sure, but if anyone can help me with this I'd gladly appreciate the help; I love this thing. It gets North light, so there is light in the morning and a little bit of shaded light in the afternoon. I water it when the soil feels dry, and thoroughly. I fertilize with MG's All propose (Not sure if that's ok, but I'm not doing it often.) Thank you so much for the help!

This looks like black mold, doesn't it?
