We have so many Japanese beetles on our hibiscus this year and any time a new flower opens it's instantly attacked by the bugs. What are so home remedies I can use to repel against them? Thanks so much!! :)
How can I keep bugs off of my flowers?
Hello
Your best bet would be to dust it with an organic Rotenone dust. Rotenone is made from plant oils that are poisonous to insects but to to us. Keep it dusted every 10-14 days and after very very heavy rains. This will either kill the beetles if they take a bite out of the foliage and blossoms or prevent them from even landing on the plant.

Reply:Don't know of any home remedies for Japanese beetles, they are determined little things with no natural enemies in the states.
You can try a dish soap and water solution and spray the leaves, or do it the easy way...go to lowe's, home depot, wal-mart, etc. and buy a Japanese beetle trap/system.
Reply:They hate garlic. Someone on the gardenweb forum found a garlic-flavored olive oil spray in their cupboard and lightly sprayed their basil plants with it, %26amp; it got rid of the beetles.
Garlic spray:
Use up two cloves of garlic and a hot pepper in a pint of water. Strain, add a drop each of liquid Ivory soap and vegetable oil %26amp; spray on plants early in the morning or when it cool out.
You can also use a neem-based product to get rid of the beetles.
Some people position a bowl filled with soapy water (or oil) under the plant and tap lightly. They should fall out and drown in the solution. This procedure seems to be most effective in the morning or evening when the beetles are resting
Landscape with plants that are known to actively repel the adults, white mums, rue, tansy, larkspur, garlic, citronella.
Long-term prevention for Japanese Beetles is biological controls such as beneficial nematodes or a product called "milky spore," which attack the grubs, and prevent recurrence for years.
Mix in a Gallon of water:
1Tablsp liquid Ivory soap
1Tablsp cooking oil (or Horticultural oil)
1Tablsp hot Tabasco sauce
I haven't tried this on hibiscus, so I recommend starting with only 1 Tablesp of each of the oil %26amp; soap. You can go up to 2 Tablsp each if you test it on a leaf or flower first, %26amp; do this when it's cooler out. The sun can make the spray too concentrated %26amp; cause burning. Try to hit the Beetles because it works best when the oil coats the insects.
Reply:just enjoy the beetles instead
they are very beautiful up close
predators for them will arrive in time

Help me identify this flowering plant?
It grows large (not enough to call it a tree though). the flowers are like double hibiscus and are pink initially and then take a darker hue. The leaves are maple leaf shaped and somewhat hairy.
Help me identify this flowering plant?
There is a variety of hibicus called Hibiscus syricus which sounds like this but it has hairless leaves and is deciduous. This could also be Hibiscus moscheutos, or Hibiscus mutabilis.

Im looking for tropical flowers for tattoo ? Any ideas?
Image search for the flowers you want, find the colors and shapes you like best. Then have someone who can draw really well sketch up a design for you. Or, if you can't find anyone to draw one for you, take the pictures you want to the tattoo artist and have him/her come up with a design. That way, it'll be a very unique design rather than a copy of a picture you find.
Those are really great flowers and I'm sure it will look gorgeous.
Reply:Go to a reputable tattoo place and look at their portfolio. A good tattoo salon will have a very large selection, into the hundreds of thousands of designs. I guarantee you, 100% that you will find something that you will like!
Also, look at http://www.tattoojohnny.com. That is a huge tattoo database that seems to only be getting bigger with age. Very best of luck to you!

How did chef Bun Lai come up with the menu at MIya's Sushi in New Haven?
Although the decor at Miya's Sushi wont win any design awards, it is the awe-inspiring pan Asian sushi menu that draws the crowds. Chef Bun Lai is a New England legend and guests here have been known to drive hours to dine here. At Miya Japanese restaurant, the menu incorporates combinations of ingredients one would never imagine to work. My favorite is wild narrow leaved cattail with brie cheese and a lemon dill sauce, delicately rolled sushi style and tempura fried whole. Other favorites include, snapper infused with beets and hibiscus flower; kobe beef ginger wine nigiro; raw salmon with tomatoes, capers and yuzu served on crackling hot rice chips; jumbo soft shell crab wrapped in potato skin, topped with taosted havarti and thumbnail sized fried baby crabs; squid and balck bean in a squid ink and chicken broth flavored spicy sushi roll...you must try it for yourself to believe it.

Cat urine vs. potted hibiscus?
I have a potted hibiscus that me cat urinated in. Since the incident, the plant hasn't flowered at all and all the leaves have fallen off. It is still green underneath, though. Is there any way to help it recover, or will it never flower again?
Cat urine vs. potted hibiscus?
I'd flush the hibiscus with a LOT of tepid water to remove as much of the urine/urea/ammonia as possible. I find it unlikely that ONE event has caused this; I have a hunch that Kitty has been pulling this stunt for a while. One way to prevent a recurrence is to get a clear plastic saucer bigger than the diameter of the pot (such as you'd normally set the plant IN), cut a hole in the center big enough to accomodate the stem of the plant, and a slit from the edge to the hole. Turn it upside down, and slip it around the stem of the plant to provide a shield. The cat can't get to the dirt, but you can easily remove the "shield" to water the plant. I suspect that after some time, and proper care, your hibiscus will flower again.
Reply:Yea, cat urin is extremely acidic. It killed the plan prbably. Water it alot to try to re-purify it, but chances are the plan is dead.
Reply:Best to do- re-plant the mixture with fresh dirt and put orange peelings and sprinkle cayenne peppers around the dirt and planter- this will keep all the kitties away!

Hibiscus indoors?
Is it possible to grow a hibiscus plant indoors? I love these flowers but I'm in Missouri and the winters won't let me plant them outdoors.
Hibiscus indoors?
make your husband but you these flowers and plants them then dig them up before the first frost then put them indoors for you that way all you have to do is sit back and enjoy their beauty as well as yours
Reply:I would assume that you are asking about tropical hibiscus....if that is this case you can bring them inside before the first frost in your area. A sunny warm spot would be best, however, all plants go through a "rest period" as part of there natural cycle. You would need to water less frequently and do not fertilize or feed the plant during the winter months. Also, to help acclimatize your plant to its new surroundings you may want to take it from its spot outdoors and move it into a garage or basement for a few days so it can adjust to the new environment. The converse would be true before you put it back outside. Any sudden change in environment can stress the plant and force it to drop its leaves.
There are also "hardy hibiscuses" or althea as it is sometimes called that would be hardy all year planted outside in your area.
Reply:it is better to keep them indoors in winters near your glass window . by doing so it will get enough heat and light and grow more better than ever.
Reply:I live in Oklahoma our winters aren't as bad as yours but i plant my hibiscus in a pot so that i may bring them in before the freeze. my plants live indoors in the winter and back outside arranged nicely in the spring thru fall. So to answer your question yes they will live great indoors. I hope this helps........Have a great day!

Hibiscus's stem has more%C than other part of it?
can anyone explain?
Why carbon content is higher in stem of bird of paradise stem compared to other part of it?
if you are doing this kind of research why are you doing it if you can't understand your results?
Reply:Any plant region with high densities of woody structural elements would have a high carbon level because cellulose and lignin are carbohydrates. This may include leaves because many plants make them tougher to support a large horizontal photosynthetic area or to discourage herbivory. Only in regions of active metabolism with nitrogen rich proteins would see the ratio shift in a plant.
Impatiens balsamina if grown as an annual does not develop a woody stem so the cellulose %26amp; lignin content would be lower. Lignification happens to mature vascular xylem tissue to provide support.
The areas with proteins would be the cambium or apical growth in stems or roots.

hobbylobby.com has a division called crafts etc that is really good. Garden Ridge used to be really good but i haven't used them in forever. If you choose to dye flowers yourself be careful, color matching is tricky. Have you thought of using the accents in the arrangement as the brighter colors and more natural colors for the flowers you like? There are more options for doing that than locking yourself into thinking that all the flowers in the arrangement have to be bright bright bright. good luck
Reply:yes you can die anything good luck nice hobbie
Reply:It depends on what the flowers are made of. If you have a store called Michael's near you, they have all kinds of artificial flowers that are very nice and they have many different colors. They also have a website to order from.

Hibiscus Plant!!! I new to this. Please help!!!?
Ok I got a really amazing plant for my birthday. Its a Hibiscus plant with big pink and white flower. The thing is it didnt come with any info. Like how to care for it. How much light? How much water? Re-plotting advice? I just got it on sat. %26amp; today all the flowers died:( Im so upset. I havnt watered it yet bc the soil is still moist. Not sure what I sure do. I have it inside. Is it dying??
Hibiscus Plant!!! I new to this. Please help!!!?
First of all dont be upset if all the flowers died becuase they only last one day. Its normal.
Care
Your hibiscus probably wont bloom indoors or at least not well, but it will bloom perfectly outside. When temps are in the 80s put it in full sun and water daliy. Now indoors you only need to water every 2 to 3 days.
Once outside it will do nicely. The time to Re pot is before it goes out side. they arent hard to re pot and dont need to be repotted often.
once winter is on it way and temperatures arent in the 80s any more your plant will stop blooming. Now is the time to bring it in.
How to Bring It Indoors for the winter.
hibiscus plants bring in bugs from outside, so you will need to follow these steps to prevent them.
First water the entire plant as well as the undersides of the leaves.
Then cut off a bit of the tip of the stem. If your plant is large cut off 2 inches from the stem, if small one inch or less. After you prune your plant water again. Wait 3 days for it to dry out. then bring it in.
Now indoors your plant will at first lose a few leaves. This is normal. Also snice you cut the stem it will not flower indoors till summer. This is Important becuase winter is its rest time, and also bugs like to live on new growth so cutting the new leaves off are nessecary. Water less about once every 4 days and once spring come add plant food such as miracle gro and water a bit more. them once summer arrives again take it back out side and enjoy.
If it refused to flower give it some plant food.
Reply:Yes, these are tropical plants that like full sun and warm temperatures. If you are going to keep it indoors, it needs a south facing window to do best. If you are in a warm climate, you can put it outdoors, but it can never be allowed to get too cold, say below 50-60 degrees. The flowers don't last real long, so as long as the plant itself looks OK, don't worry about the dead flowers, it may just have been their time. Does it still have flower buds yet to bloom? You need to watch for insects on the undersides of the leaves, hybiscus are spider mite magnets. Spider mites are very tiny little buggers that produce fine little webbing on the undersides of the leaves. If you see this, get some Malathion and spray it asap, before they get too bad. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soaked at all times. Good luck!
Reply:hibiscus is a tropical plant. it shouldn't just die like that. are you sure it wasn't infested with something? you should put it by a sunny window and spray it with water along with the watering. remember, tropical plants can never be dried out they love to be wet...
Reply:The flowers don't last long at all. Bring a leaf to a decent nursery and ask if it is a tropical hibiscus or a hardy hibiscus.

Where can I make contact with wine&spirits importers?
We look for importers/distributors of our product.
Casa Destiladora S.A de C.V. is a company established in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México. Actually producing XAICA Liqueur (hibiscus sabdariffa flower). At the moment with a 10,000 cases per year production capacity which can be expanded upon sales contract basis.
Xaica is a premium quality tasteful liqueur due to the distillation process. This is a product directly extracted from the flower, not a flavored alcoholic beverage.
Hibiscus is used to prepare a refreshing tea. The tea owes its characteristic fruity flavor to a range of plant acids. Stems and leaves closely resemble the cranberry in flavor. The wine-red color is due to anthocyanins.
It is very high in vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Every 100 gm of fresh calyx will contains 2.85 ug vitamin D, 0.04 mg vitamin B1, 0.06 mg vitamin B2, and 0.05 mg vitamin B2 Complex.

What's wrrong with my Hibiscus?
I bought 4 thriving Hibiscus plants. I transferred three of them to large clay pots and the 4th to a tiny little flower bed. The three plants in my big clay pots have all but expired. The 4th in the little raggedy bed is thriving. What did I do wrong? The plants were all pot bound but I was really careful with the roots. Please help me someone!
What's wrrong with my Hibiscus?
It sounds like the ones in the pots are not getting the right amount of water. Clay pots are notorious for either drying out too fast, or holding too much water; without knowing other symptoms, it's hard to say. If the leaves are getting brown tips, or in general getting "crispy," then the plants aren't getting enough water; if the plant is turning yellow over all and sagging a bit, it's more likely that they're getting too much water.
If you live in an area where it gets very dry, then putting a coating of epoxy on the INSIDE of the pot can allow you to use them; it prevents the water from the soil from being absorbed into the pot itself. Likewise, it can help in wet areas to prevent the water in the walls of the pot from overwhelming the soil. That way, you get all the benefits of the plastic barrier, but with the nicer looks of terra cotta.
Reply:In the past I made the same mistake. You have to give them a drink daily until they make it thru the 1st year. Once they make that they will come back year after year that is if they are hardy. If tropical they will die off after the 1st frost.
Reply:you might have put them in too big a pot if the leaves turned yellow you forgot to water one day Hibiscus like lots of water the roots might be too root bound take them out of the pot and cut the roots with a sharp knife from top to bottom get a product called Superthrive and follow directions
Reply:It might not be your fault at all. It is almost too late to buy plants. The upkeep starts suffering near the end of the season. They might not have been watered properly.
Next year, buy the shrubs the size you want and do not put them in larger pots. You can put their pots down into a prettier pot (no soil needed) if you wish. Make sure it has holes for the water to drain out.
After a month or so, you can start a liquid fertilizer schedule. Fertilize from every 7 to 14 days. Read and follow the directions on the container.
Water is the most important thing. Do not let them dry out. This will do them in fast. Plants must have water, even your garden where you have the other shrub.
Next spring, use time-released fertilizer on your outdoor garden. We use Osmocote. Always read and do what the directions on the container says to do. Water in well. You can plant after you do this OR you can buy bagged compost and spread it about 4 to 6 inches deep in your garden. Water well and then plant.
Remember, water is the most important thing.

After cutting back tropical hibiscus many yellow leaves?
Indoor hibiscus plant flowering and growing very well had to cut the plant back as it was reaching the ceiling in the room it was in. Plant is in SW facing window with lots of sun. After cutting it back now many if not most of the leaves are yellowing and falling off plant. New growth is coming in on many of the stocks including where I cut it back. Is this any thing to be concerned with?
After cutting back tropical hibiscus many yellow leaves?
Most plants, including hibiscus, respond well to pruning. They usually grow back more lush then before they were pruned. It sounds like your plant responded in a normal manner. The emergence of new growth indicates that the plant is responding well. Here is my favorite website for the care of houseplants of all kinds:
http://www.plantoasis.com/
You can also do a websearch for "hibiscus care" (include the quotation marks in the Yahoo search box) and explore the results.
Good luck with your house plants.
Reply:in shock, yes , if you look at the major franchises/dealerships they usually have a profesional doing there yard when the leaves/trees go dormaint then thats a good time to trim ...........but since the plant is inside, its outside of its natural enviroment...the weather is not the same as it would be to a normal enviroment(no fresh air) factor in the diff then u got yellow tree....if u got the new growth ....it's adapting to the envo..depending on the time frame its been in the house really makes a trick ?
Reply:It sounds like it might have been cut back too much at one time and is in shock.
Make sure you keep watering it with a light fertilizer. With plants its good to prune them lightly and more often that letting them go too long and taking a chance on shock.

Hibiscus plants..?
I live in India and have a terrace garden.I have many types of Hibiscus plants in my garden,most of them are red ones.Thay are big enough,but the number of flowers which they get is comparitively less.There is ample sunlight in my garden,i water the plants regularly and also use good quality soil and natural fertilisers.How do I increase their number of flowers,and also the flower size?They are free of insects.
Hibiscus plants..?
hi with all my flowers in the garden and my hibiscus plant i dead head them every day , meaning i just pinch off the dead flowers and that makes it produce more and flower for longer , hope this has helped a little love Tracey x
Reply:u got to probably dig in the soil fronm the sides of the pot and loosen the soil and nourish it with manure from daily kitchen waste. use wasted tea powder
Reply:Pinch off every flower as soon as they start to wilt
Reply:The flowers are self dead heading, but the seed pods are not.
Reply:perhaps reason you have fewer flowers is because the roots have not completely filled the pot. most container plants need to be root bound before producing flowers.
the size of the flower is due to the variety of the plant.
when using fertilizer you should check the package for the numbers. the first number is for top growth (leaves and branches), the second number is for blooms, and the third number is for root development. be certain the middle number is the highest number. use a weak solution of fert to water every time you water to insure profuse blooms.
hope this helps. :)
Edited to add: hibiscus are self dead-heading. no need to pinch off the spent blooms as they will fall off the next day.
Reply:plant food it the key to large flowers the size of dinner plates and as much as 12 flowers a day. you may need some store bought fertilizers as well. also do you prune them back because it only flowers on new growth

Lots of plants especially indoor plants go into shock when there are moved or pruned. The leaves turn yellow and fall off. You said there is new growth on it so it sounds health to me.

I just got a plant from HD, all it said was Hibiscus. It has a twisted trunk like base. Any care advice?
It has an orange/red flower w/several more buds. It almost looks like a topiary. I don't know if it's hardy or has to be dug up in the fall and brought inside. NH winters are pretty harsh.
I just got a plant from HD, all it said was Hibiscus. It has a twisted trunk like base. Any care advice?
The trend of training shrubs into topiary forms was just in Cottage Living magazine (or one of the many h %26amp; g mags that I get). The hardiness zone was listed as 10+. It caught my attention because I live in zone 9 and regular hibiscus thrive here- I have several in the yard. The article said that all of these topiary forms drop one hardiness zone - must have something to do with the long exposed trunk, but that you can keep it potted and bring it indoors when the temp drops. I definitely would not plant it. We had a "cold" winter this year and my mature ones took a beating, but all came back.
Also a tip - they are acid loving - coffee grounds and leaf litter work great for mulching. Full sun for best blooms.
Reply:I just bought a pink hibuscus at the green house, the tag said hardly to -20 just mulch it well after the gorund is frozen in the fall.
Reply:It is a hibiscus. It will not survive the Alabama winters so I know that it will not survive NH winters.
You can plant it in a planter to make it easy to move inside when you have to.
Deadhead it when the blooms die. It makes it look so much better.
They are easy to care for, mine lived in full/partial sun %26amp; I watered it every night.
It died b/c I forgot to bring it in when it got really cold but it lasted beautifully all summer/fall until the weather got bad.
Reply:Check out Wikipedia and look up hibiscus this is what I always do...
Reply:It is a braided hibiscus, and not hardy. Yes, you have to bring it in before the first frost. Winter it over in the house and put it out late next spring. If you want the easy one, pick up a hardy hibiscus, plant it and forget it. Each year it will give you the same type of blooms, but 2x as big.

I want the chinese symbol "daddy's little girl" tattoo but not sure where to put it?
My dad passed away in 2003 so this has a significant meaning to me. I want it small but not sure where to put it. I was thinking on my wrist and if i have to cover it I could just wear a watch. I am already getting hibiscus flower on the top of my foot. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Hibiscus plant question?
my hibiscus plant did not bloom since I bought it in 2 years, inside the house. Should I leave it outside during summer time to get flowers?
Hibiscus plant question?
It needs to go outside for the summer. I drag mine out every summer which seems like a pain but well worth it after it starts blooming. If you decide to take it outside, you should change the soil too, and maybe a new pot? Hibiscus will love you for the extra care
Reply:Hibiscuses go dormat when in a house becuase the temperatures in the house are like winter in the tropics. In places such as California and Florida the hibiscus will stop blooming in the winter and lose some leaves because the temperatures are only in the low 70s. They need mid 80s and full sun to bloom. It is normal for it not to bloom in the house, unless in a warm area you will only see scattered blooms inside if any at all.
This summer take it outside in full sun and it will bloom nicely. Also add some plant food so it can get started, it will take a month outdoors before it blooms. Must be warm outside too.
Reply:Absolutely, they really flourish in the ground or in a very large pot with good sunlight.
Reply:it needs light.
Reply:yes, it likes sun.

What's a good souvenir from Canada and/or Seattle?
You know how Hawaii have these different kinds of souvenirs like a dolphin magnet, anything that has hibiscus flower on it, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, etc... what about Canada and Seattle? Im going to both places. What are they famous for? I want to bring back something for my friends. Any idea?
What's a good souvenir from Canada and/or Seattle?
If you were going east coast of Canada, you would probably be looking at maple syrup, magnets of the parliament buildings, Maple Leaf / Ottawa Senators / Montreal Canadiens jerseys or caps, Niagara falls snow globes, inuit art having to do with seals.
Since you mentioned Seattle, I assume you are looking at west coast of Canada, so I would go with totem poles, redwood carvings, postcards of the Rockies, Calgary Flames / Edmonton Oilers / Vancouver Canucks items, and indian art. There is also edibles in the form of smoked salmon, and bear claws (a chocolate cluster similar to "Turtles")
Reply:If your going to victoria,bc, you should bring them back some chocolates form purdys chocolates! soo yummy and pretty affordable. They are in the bay center on the bottom floor!!
Reply:CANADA :MAPLE SYRUP
SEATTLE: ???
Reply:Seattle people have the bumpershoot which is actually an umbrella. Washington State has was called the banana slug and is sold in tourist areas. Its a big fat slug. Seattle is also known for its Starbucks coffee.
Reply:Canada: Totem pole figure, smoked salmon, native art.
Seattle: Native art.
Happy travels!
Reply:Canada is very diverse and depending on where you go you'll find different things:
Standard - Mounties, beavers, Maple anything
Western - beer and hockey, farm art
East/west coasts - whales, salmon, fishing in general, art
Enjoy your trip!

Flower questions?
do u have to do anything to a hibiscus after it drops its dead flowers? and when do day lilies start blooming? my hibiscus dropped the flowers it had but still has the green parts. and my day lilies look fully grown but no flowers are showing up.
Flower questions?
Here in the northern midwest day lilies are just about to begin flowering. Not sure about the hibiscus. . . whenever I have had them the deer eat the flowers!
Reply:Ideally Hibiscus flowers should be removed at the node once they droop. Such dead heading encourages more flowers. Better not to wait till the flowers fall on their own.

Hibiscus plants - small leaves or less leaves. advise?
I have a rooftop garden with 18 hibiscus plants in pots. The pots are not too large though. The plants are almost 2 years old. I do get flowers from most of the plants on a daily basis. However, the plants look barren and the leaves are very small and very few. When I see other potted hibiscus plants in other houses, I find them leafy. Please advise
Hibiscus plants - small leaves or less leaves. advise?
Temperature and sunlight are the main factors here. The night time temperature for your garden shouldn't dip below the 45 F mark (it can occasionally, but it's best to keep'em warm). Daytime temps in the 70's F. Tropical Hibiscus (I am presuming here) like it sunny.
You mentioned that they were in 'small' pots. If they've been in the same pot for 2-3 years they should be checked to see if they need repotting. Pull the plant out of the pot, if there are alot of roots around the edge, probably you need to move the plant into the next size larger pot (if roots are coming out of the bottom, that's a good indicator too - as Reynwater says). Don't move to too large a pot, and plant the plants at the same level they are at in their current pot. In the spring and summer (in cooler climates) they should be getting a regular application of fertilizer, less in the fall and winter (in warmer area's consult your local independent garden center for fertilizing advice).
They should get the occasional pruning as well, to keep the plants compact (for container growing). Spring is the time to do that. Reduce long branches.
I hope that this helps
Good luck
Reply:I brought tropical hibiscus in as the winter approached. I keep them in a sunny kitchen but am having an equivalent problem. They dropped their regular-size leaves and now have small leaves with beautiful pink flowers. I think lack of bright sunlight is the culprit. I am not sure how you deal with that on a rooftop but it may be a seasonal problem. If they can slip through until the sunny warm days the plants may return to their full glory.
Reply:Check the bottom of the pots, if you see roots coming out of the holes, they want repotting. Hibiscus are heavy feeders, give them some Miracle Gro. Bloom is encouraged by heat. good luck
Reply:Hibiscus. Which kind?
You need to know which one you have. Unfortunately, garden centers, nurseries and home improvement centers lump all hibiscus together.
If your hibiscus has glossy deep green leaves, 3-6" flowers of red, pink, orange, yellow, double or single flowers, it is probably a TROPICAL hibiscus. While many common garden varieties have the 3-6" blooms, many of the hybrid varieties of tropical hibiscus can have blooms around 10" in diameter under ideal conditions.
Another way to check is if the flowers are salmon, peach, orange, or yellow, or double flowered, then you probably have a TROPICAL hibiscus. Hardy hibiscus do not come in these colors or in doubles! Many tropical hibiscus flowers have more than one color in a bloom either in bands or as spots.
If your hibiscus has dull medium green heart shaped leaves, dinner plate sized white, pink or red flowers with HUGE, bomb shaped buds (2-4" in length!), it is a perennial, hardy hibiscus.
Hardy hibiscus need very little care over the winter, they are root hardy to about zone 5 with no protection. They die to the ground each year.
If you have a tropical hibiscus, remember it is a TROPICAL. They will not tolerate more than a night or two of light freezes. Even one hard freeze (below 25) could kill the plant. These plants are native to sunny, warm and usually humid tropical places.
They detest cold, rainy weather and cold, wet soil. They will not reliably survive outdoors north of zone 9. In all other areas, it may be a good idea to bring them indoors BEFORE temps regularly drop below 40-45 F at night to avoid any damage.
Treating your tropical hibiscus correctly will give you years of enjoyment. But remember, they are not immortal! Some are spent after 4 or 5 years in a pot and should be tossed away at this point. Try some of the many and never ending new hybrids being developed!

I want a flower tattoo on my hip...?
But I'm unsure of what type of flower. I'm leaning towards hibiscus but I also want one that means eternity, forever, love, or something along those lines. Does anyone know which flowers mean that? I used to be a florist but all the ones I see to find arent very attractive. And I already have a rose.

Hardy Hibiscus: Trying to identify type?
Hi,
I have a hardy hibiscus (not sure what type it is). It is a very different type of hibiscus just to give you some background--the plant grows what I'd describe as individual skinnier stalks instead of the normal bush like appearance. And the flowers are amazing--a dark rich pink with a Stamen that is very very bright yellow--and pink on the very ends. My step father found some seeds at an old abandoned homesite and planted them about 15 years ago. He gave me two very late last fall but only one made it through the winter.
The seed pod is not as wrinkled and pointed as all the other hardy hibiscus seed pods I have seen.
The closest hibiscus it resembles is a Disco Belle, but I know it is not that type. Any ideas on what kind it might be? I can send you a pic if you e-mail me with your e-mail address.

I am in texas where we have a hardy Rose Mallow called the Texas star...but I don't think that is what you are talking about..I have a book with pictures of all kinds of Hibsicus moscheutos...giant rose mallows...., including the Salt Marsh Mallow and others. I will email you

I have a potted hibiscus plant and I'm not sure what to do.?
I cannot bring it into the house (due to my cat) for the winter. Should I put it in the ground before winter? It also rarely flowers. Maybe once a month, one flower at a time. If I shoulder plant it in the ground, where should I plant it?

Depends on the type of hibiscus it is and what your winters are like. There are hardy and tropical hibiscus. If it's hardy, you can plant it (nearly anywhere) and it will come back next year. If it's tropical, it probably won't. They won't withstand a freeze.
If you are in the VERY deep south, a tropical may do well outside. Otherwise, find a friend with big doors and no cat. Make it a gift to someone who can enjoy it.
Reply:What a coincidence. I ordered a hibiscus plant from the florist to go in church one Sunday a couple of months ago. I was planning on putting it on my father's grave after church. It did not have but one bloom on it, but several buds. I took it to the cemetery and left it there after watering it good. Last Sunday, we all went to a family reunion near where my father is buried. My sisters had a plant to put on the grave site. I said I would take mine home and put it in the garbage. Well, lo, and behold, there were 2 beautiful blooms and several buds. I cut away the dead part, and took it out of the pot and planted it in my flower garden. You can make a flower garden, also. Just dig down deep enough, and get rid of a lot of soil that is kind of rough. Ours here is sandy. We are near the coast. Put some dirt in from a plant store (actually, mine came from Ace Hardware. It's called Miracle-Gro Potting Mix, and it is good). Don't let it get too dry, but don't over water it. You can also spray plant food on. I use a powdered mix by the same name. You mix with water, and put it in a spray bottle. It really does keep plants healthy. I wish you much success. Grams
Reply:I have a tropical hibiscus tree and I live in Western NY. I have to dig it out every winter before the first frost. It does so well in the front of my house, it is a west side. I had 11 blooms at one time this year. It was beautiful:) For me, it will stop blooming around November until I bring it back outside. But, it's worth it, what a beautiful flower!!!

Does anyone know why my hibiscus didn't come up this yr.?
i have no idea why, but this yr. i had flowers come up that hadn't bloomed in 3 yrs. but my hibiscus that usually bloom every yr. did not come up. is this just coincidence or could there be an actual reason?
Does anyone know why my hibiscus didn't come up this yr.?
Assume since it has come up before that it is a hardy variety. Could have been a hard freeze in early spring that might have bitten it.

Hey i've got this problem with the hibiscus plant?

Hey i've got this problem with the hibiscus plant?
From what you describe the thought of aphids comes to mind immediately. Treat aphids with a stomach poison as the little critters are suckers.
Aphids, or plant lice, are small, soft-bodied insects which are common pests of nearly all indoor and outdoor ornamental plants, as well as vegetables, field crops, and fruit trees. There are hundreds of different species of aphids, some of which attack only one host plant, while others attack numerous hosts. Most aphids are about 1/10 inch long, and though commonly green and black, they may be gray, brown, pink, red, yellow, or lavender. A characteristic common to all species is the presence of two tubes, called cornicles, on the back ends of their bodies. The cornicles secrete defensive substances. In some species they are quite long, while in others they are very short and difficult to see.
Aphids feed in clusters and generally prefer new, succulent shoots or young leaves. Some species, known as woolly aphids, are covered with white, waxy filaments which they produce from special glands.
In some situations ants tend aphids and feed on the honeydew aphids excrete. At the same time, they protect the aphids from natural enemies.

Bud drop from hibiscus - need advise?
I have a rooftop gargen with 18 hibiscus plants (in pots). 16 are Ok and flower well. There are 2 plants which produce lots of buds but never flower. The buds turn yellow before they bloom and fall off. I have tried adding extra manure but no result. Please advise.
Bud drop from hibiscus - need advise?
The Redneck listed good ideas. We've also seen buds fail to develop in retail plants when they've been neglected and under watered. Since you're having luck with all your other plants, I'd be looking for the differences between them and the sickies. Are they different varieties? Are the ailing ones in a place where they get more wind than the others, or more or less light? Were they potted a season before the others or with a different potting medium? Do any neighbors use the garden, too? Are they using the pots as ashtrays, or as kitty litter boxes? There's something different going on with these 2!
Reply:Bud drop can be caused by insects, overfertilization, poor drainage and excessive water..

Hibiscus plants?
I live in Ohio and have a hibiscus plant that seems to do great outside from May - Sept, unfortunately when I bring it in for the winter, it looses it leaves, don't flower and well looks pretty pitiful. It is in a living area, gets plenty of sunlight and heat from a fireplace. Is there a certain vitamin etc that I can use. Should I trim the branches?
Thanks for the help

It could be the heat from the fireplace. Or if you have a draft. It is not unusual for hibiscus that are brought in for the winter to drop leaves.
Reply:I have had one for many, many years. I bring it in before first frost and take it back out after last frost.
I keep mine in a sunny window but not near too much heat. If it starts to wilt, look all dried out and loses most of its leaves. Cut it right back, keep it watered as normal and you will have alot of nice new growth on it and it will be ready to put out in May.
They are very pretty plants. Best of Luck. This will work for you, go ahead and cut it back.
Reply:keep it well watered too
Reply:its drying out to quick between heat from heater and fireplace. Keep soil moist and near direct sunlight for about 3-4 hrs a day, move away from fireplace, it will come back
Reply:I have 3 of these that I have kept alive for about 5 years now. They just seem to drop their leafs in response to the climate and light changes. They are alive in my basement under fluorsecent lights.
They ALWAYS drop all of their leafs when I move them back outside. It just does not seem to matter how much care I give them by slowly exposing them to sunlight the climate.
Leaf drop is something that I have come to accept here. The two plants right next to the light have one or two blooms right now, But I know that they will crash when I take them outside in May.
Mine are in large pots now and I do not cut them back any more.

I just got a beautiful hibiscus tattoo on the top of my foot.?
It has been 5 days and now has begun to peel. The burgundy petals on the flower are peeling away and revealing a more hot pink lighter color which is not as pretty %26amp; vivid. Will the dark burgundy color come back or will I have to go back for a touch up? Why is the color not so nice underneath?
I just got a beautiful hibiscus tattoo on the top of my foot.?
Hey me too!!! Don't cha just love em? Mine did the same thing actually they looked pretty nasty for like 3 weeks but as of a month and a half later there is just alittle bit of touch up that needs to be done but i knew that before i even got them. Good Luck %26amp; Aloha
Reply:what's happening is the area is healing. the tattooed area has scabbed over (gross i know) and just let it continue to heal on it's own. the color that is appearing underneath will most likely be the end result. if you don't like it, just call the place where you got the tat and i'm sure they'll touch it up for you.
Reply:thats normal. Both my foot tattoos pealed like that. But your tatt is going to need to be touched up. I have stars on my right arch and they were done in turqouis and canary yellow...now they are light blue and skin tone. =*(
this was less than 2 months after it was done

Reply:its healing....in most tattoos u cant get as vivid of colors as u want unless you go for a few touch ups untill u have the color u want but 4 now jus continue to let it heal by itself and then when its healed u can go back to the place u got it at an ask or a touch up on the color
Reply:Sorry to tell you this, but tats on your feet will wear away. Your feet more than any other part of the body will shed its layers. Tats to be permanent have to go to the third layer of skin and since the feet sweat so much and rub, it will never be permanent. I work with a girl who has a terrible looking one on the arch of her foot. I first heard this in college when a friend of mine got one on the top of her foot. I do know a man who got one on the back part, near his heel and it has lasted atleast 10 years...but men don't get pedicures and stuff either.
Reply:well let the tatoo heal a little more it may change again.. make sure you have somehting on it at all time weather it is unscented lotion or a%26amp;d ointment ..if it is still a light color within about 2 weeks def call the artist to get it touched up to the color you want.. also do not scratch it or peel the skin off.. slap it and use lots of lotion.. mine didnt peel at all i had so much lotion on at all times

Reply:its healing....in most tattoos u cant get as vivid of colors as u want unless you go for a few touch ups untill u have the color u want but 4 now jus continue to let it heal by itself and then when its healed u can go back to the place u got it at an ask or a touch up on the color
Reply:Sorry to tell you this, but tats on your feet will wear away. Your feet more than any other part of the body will shed its layers. Tats to be permanent have to go to the third layer of skin and since the feet sweat so much and rub, it will never be permanent. I work with a girl who has a terrible looking one on the arch of her foot. I first heard this in college when a friend of mine got one on the top of her foot. I do know a man who got one on the back part, near his heel and it has lasted atleast 10 years...but men don't get pedicures and stuff either.
Reply:well let the tatoo heal a little more it may change again.. make sure you have somehting on it at all time weather it is unscented lotion or a%26amp;d ointment ..if it is still a light color within about 2 weeks def call the artist to get it touched up to the color you want.. also do not scratch it or peel the skin off.. slap it and use lots of lotion.. mine didnt peel at all i had so much lotion on at all times
Help with my hibiscus bush?
In July of last year I planted a hibiscus bush. It grew and flowered for the rest of the summer and into the fall, and I was thrilled. However, this spring it is a dry, brittle bunch of twigs. It seems to have a good root system, but it looks dead above the ground. Is there anything I can do to help it, or is it gone for good?
Help with my hibiscus bush?
Depends where you live I live in Michigan and the winters get COLD we cover ours in the winter and it is in great shape now...
Reply:Just helped a friend with her Hibiscus in San Francisco - though it flowered profusely last year, it is now just twiggy - but alive. We moved it, after realising that it had been planted on really poor soil, with tons of rubble underneath.
It just needs some warmth to help bring its shoots into growth, so have a little patience as, subject to your past winter, it should be alive and well. If its twigs are flexible, they should still be vibrant and ready to give you a great display this year.
If you get really cold winters, you can help protect it with some horticultural fleece, which keeps the temperature below it a few degrees warmer. However, I'm assuming yours is good to grow, as soon as spring/summer warms a little.
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
Reply:Hibiscus are the last shrub to produce leaves in Spring. Mine often doesn't have any until June. The first year I left mine in the ground as I had other things in the garden to do first. By the time I got around to removing it in late May, it was just starting to produce buds. If yours is a hardy variety, then this may be the same situation.
I planted it with other shrubs so the spring twigs are not noticeable.
Reply:its fine...mine does that every year...i have mine planted in a big huge pot and if you want to bring it back alive sooner then give it some miracle grow or some sort of good fertilizer...mine gets dry in the winter and then ijust make sure i water it every night or give it water early in the mornin...good luck they turn out to be beautiful
Reply:Did you have the hardy hibiscus or the tender one? If you planted the hardy one it's fine. If you planted the one that can't take freezing temps. it's dead.
Reply:It is too early for it yet, give it time. We have had some very cold weather.
I know when I planted mine I thought it was a one time plant but it came up again the next year much to my surprise, I live in Oregon
Reply:Hibiscus like to be really damp.water it twice a day.mine grow and flowers all year round.i have 7 colours of hibiscus.
Good luck.........!

How can I make my own oil paints?
I want to make my own oil paints...any help?
furthermore, can I use dried hibiscus flowers as a pigment?
Thanks! :D
How can I make my own oil paints?
Hi:
You should be able to make your own oil paints. You probably won't want to use a dried hibiscus flower as a paint, because the colors will probably fade or the organic material may not hold up well in a painting and may moulder - you could always do a sample to test it though. (On a weird side note - I've heard that sometimes the remains of a person from a cremation have been incorporated into a painting - I am not completely sure the method for that, but that seems to work, but the remains are probably completely removed of organic components.) There have historically been paint colors of "mummy" brown - that was actually from ground up mummies (yuck), and I think there was a yellow color that was derived from the cattle fed something to make their urine or feces a bright greeny-yellow.
Usually, to make oil paints involves dry powdered pigments and a grinding system. You can get more information about making oil paints at Sinopia Pigments. They have recipes and photos for various artist materials made out of more basic components, including oil paints.
Various art supply stores may have dry pigments from various manufacturers. I usually use pastels, and pastel artists can also make pastels from dry pigments, but with pastels the binder that is used is normally gum tragacanth or another gum type binding agents. I think watercolor paints usually have gum arabic as the binder.
Hope this helps and gives you some ideas.

Working with children and having a tattoo?
Having a tattoo doesnt make a difference if your working in a daycare center, right? The tattoo is just a hibiscus flower on my ankle. I'm going to college for Early Childhood Education and i plan on either working in a daycare center, working with Special Ed toddlers or working as a preschool teacher. Would a tattoo affect whether or not i get hired?? Again, it will be on my ankle...
Working with children and having a tattoo?
I am a Special Education teacher, I have a large tattoo across my back. Its never been an issue, there are tons of people at my school (including administrators) who have them. Teachers have huge contracts-- mine is a book 124 pages long! In all of that, it dosen't mention tattoos or piercings!
Reply:this depends upon the child care center in question. the center where i worked was somewhat lenient with tattoos as long as the tattoo itself was not offensive or obtrusive and could be covered for the most part. as you're talking about a tattoo on your ankle, you really shouldn't have an issue at all as the majority of the year it'll be covered by pants, shoes, socks, hose, etc.
your best bet will be to ask around. call the child care centers in your area and tell them that you're doing a school project and ask for a copy of their company dress code policy. it's better to do things that way than to let them know from the door that you already have a tattoo as many people (especially in the child care field) frown on body art.
Reply:That should be fine, especially since it's small, you can easily cover it, and it's not an offensive image in the least. Also, many teachers nowadays have tattoos without it causing a problem.
Reply:It shouldn't. You can always cover it if you think it might. This is your third question. If you are having this many questions and doubts maybe you should either pick a spot you absolutely know won't be seen or don't get one!
Reply:Depends on who's hiring. At an elementary school, middle school, and high school were I live there are plenty of teachers and people who work at the schools with tattoos in places for everyone to see.
Reply:As long as you keep it covered you shouldn't have any issue and should it ever come out into the open at least it is tasteful.

Hibiscus trees?
We live in North Queensland and have a magnificent hibiscus tree - approx. 4 x 4 metres large. Full of fresh green leaves and full of buds but it will not flower. It is the common red flower. All similar hibiscus are in flower except this one. Any ideas? Help.
Hibiscus trees?
Is it in sun or shade? Shade will cut back numbers of blooms produced. Fertilize with a high phosphorus fertilizer. If your soil has too much nitrogen fertilizer in proportion to phosphorus, the plant will just grow pretty green leaves but no flowers.
Reply:This is pretty common with Hibiscus. They often will go into a dormant stage for an unknown period of time, and pretty randomly. I'm sorry to say I do not have an answer, though I wish I did. Hibiscus are so beautiful!

Can I divide hibiscus plants?
My wife and I started a hibisus plant from a nursery 3 seasons ago. It started out great and has only gotten better.....maybe a little too better. Began with one shoot and flowered tremendously. Now we have 7 shoots from the same plant. It's kind of taking over its space. Can I divide this plant?
Can I divide hibiscus plants?
There are many different types of hibiscus. Some are tropical shrubs/trees %26amp; some are semi-hardy plants that act as root perenials.
The shrub/tree types you will have to take cuttings of. It is easy.
The root perennial type can be grown from seed or you can carefully divide the roots in the spring after they initiate growth.
Good luck.
Reply:That's how Hibiscus grow. They are a bush. They get huge here. I cut mine back. They like it. You can cut it back as much as you want and shape it how you want and it will bush out and grow lovely. You can make cuttings from the clippings by stripping all the green off, putting them in a bucket of water (I set them in a dark place like we do Poinsettias, but you don't have to) until new growth or roots appear and then plant. Cut at a slant on the bush and then cut the clipping straight across. Get a bottle of "Super Thrive". It's the greatest stuff in the world.....little tiny bottle, $10.00, goes along way. Use it on everything. Read the bottle. P.S. This is not a delicate plant. You can't ruin it.
Reply:No. It does not divide.
Take a shoot or a cutting.
They are fairly inexpensive plants and you can buy small ones for about $1.50.
They are easy to grow and will grow faster the older they get and the more water they get.
Reply:Hibiscus grows naturally as a shrub, but is trained in nurseries to grow as a standard (it has been pleached to form a trunk and canopy). So, yes, this plant can be divided. Wait until the plant has no flowers on it, and carefully remove the rootball as a whole from the container. Chances are, the plant has become rootbound (the roots are densely matted together and will form the shape of the container). Begin by unwinding the roots without breaking any if possible, this will help you to see where the shoots are coming from. Depending on the point of growth from the shoots (if it is from above or beneath the crown of the plant) you can place the trowel at the point of division and make a clean cut into the root system.
Replant your divisions, and the original plant, in a good quality potting soil (peat, vermiculite and perlite) and water well.
Enjoy!
Reply:you can trim it back , then take those clipped pieces , about 6" long and wet and dip in rooting hormone powder and insert in potting soil . keep moist , and in a month or so you should see new growth, and plant away. I dont think you can divide the plant without killing it

Reply:attractive yes, mainstream opinions will be mostly negative because of prejudgement just because you have a tattoo. So if this is something you worry about, wait and make a decision after you think about for some time.
Another thing to think about is....try getting a temporary tattoo or henna tattoo and see how people react and if you like having it or not...good luck
Reply:Nope, not attractive at all.
Picture what these things are going to look like once your 90 years old and you have to stretch all the wrinkles out of your skin to see what that old faded thing used to look like.

Little white dots on my backyard hibiscus plant on the stems & leaves.?
I sprayed with flower safe bug spray, but the dots are still there. Anyone know what the dots are %26amp; how I can get rid of them if they are harmful?
Little white dots on my backyard hibiscus plant on the stems %26amp; leaves.?
washing with a little soap and water seems to be the answer!
-----------------------------
APHIDS %26amp; ANTS
Aphids (green, black or brown) are soft bodied sucking insects that can be controlled with liquid soap (1 tablespoon per gallon) or a high pressure hose. Orthene and soap for infestations. Ants farm aphids for a honey like secretion they produce. No aphids, no ants. Use a strong water spray to the underside of leaves to dislodge and control most insects.
SPIDER MITES
Most spider mites are too tiny to be seen without the aid of a magnifying glass. Their webs may or may not be noticeable. Leaves will develop weak looking pale to yellow splotches on the top while the undersides will develop pimple like bumps to scabby areas. Miticides or fine oils need to be applied several times (4) to break the life cycle.
MEALY BUGS
Orthene and soap will usually control these soft bodied sucking insects. Mist with alcolgol spray. It desolves their protective waxy cover.
WHITE FLY
Hibiscus dandruff. Orthene and Murphy's Oil soap will help control these deadly pests. They are on the underside of leaves and 4 applications may be needed.
SCALE
These sucking insects are best treated in the Spring when they are young and moving about. The most common is the small white scale that starts at the base of the trunk and works up. Orthene and a fine oil; a weak solution of bleach and a tooth brush; or a light spraying with Pam or WD-40 will also work.
http://www.strictlyhibiscus.com/care.htm...
Every thing you wanted to know about Whiteflies http://www.weidners.com/whitefly.html
The tiny powdery dots might be spider mites, which can be a BIG nuisance if there's not enough humidity and/or air circulation around the plants....
As far as treating for whitefly and aphids go, you can just use a 10% dish liquid and water solution. It's safe, cheap and works great. Spray it on the tips of the branches and the buds, which is where the little buggers most likely are. Be sure to spray underneath the leaves also. I use it about once a week and I haven't had a problem all winter.
http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/...
To control severe infestations of mites and/or whitefly, soap sprays are recommended. Use Insecticidal Soap according to the label. Use Palmolive or Dawn or Sunlight soap at one to two tbs. per gallon to smother the insects on the plants. If you need to use more than 2 tbsp/gal, remember to later rinse off the plant. Spray twice a week until bugs are gone.
There are occasions when chemical sprays seem to be the only way to stop a major infestation. Should you choose to use chemicals, follow directions carefully and use with caution. Although few insecticides injure hibiscus, it is always good to read labels and to see if the product is recommended for hibiscus.
Spray your plants in the evening after the heat of the day or very early in the morning. This applies to both using insecticides or foliar feeding. There is less danger this way of burning the leaves.
http://www.dupontnursery.com/cajuncolorm...
Some alternative methods of controlling insects include using insecticidal soaps, dormant or summer oils, and biological controls. Some biological controls include: predators that consume other insects such as, Ladybugs just love aphids and the parasite Encarsia formosa, love whitefly that plague poinsettia. Scientists are researching more and more biological controls for the grower and the homeowner.
Prevention is the best cure. Tour the garden looking for signs of damage by insects or disease. Identify the problem, and choose the appropriate action. Spray only the plant or plants that have the problem. Several gardeners have reported good results with insecticidal soaps and the oils; it is better for you, the environment, and the plant. http://hibiscusandmore.net/care.html

Reply:CONGRADULATIONS! You have scales, nasty little buggers, that can literally suck the life out of houseplants/outdoor plants.
You got to give those plants a warm bath in a mild pesticide.

Hibiscus in a pot 30 years old winters indoors last winter had white fly. Bring in now or not?
This plant was bought by my daughter for mothers day when she was 12 years old (from Woolworths as a flowering plant). It has survived two house moves and has grown from a very small pot plant to a large one of about 4 feet (1m). I top dress it each year and re-pot when necessary. Last winter when it had white fly I re-potted it and changed the pot, white fly persisted and I had to put it back outside in late February,as a last resort, when it looked as though it was dying. It survived and is now in full leaf and flowering again. Do I bring it in this winter or leave it outside in a sheltered spot?

Hibiscus are usually hardy - I have two in my garden, have done for about 15 years. No problems. Leave yours outside, better still, put it in the ground.
Reply:pl keep it outdoors .it needs the sun
Reply:Spray it with liquid sevin.....depending on where you live if it isn't in the extreme north you can plant it outside, trim it back and put 12 inches of mulch on it. Some Hibiscus are more hardy than others, might want to do a web search to be safe...good luck
Reply:If you are in the far south cover it otherwise keep it indoors during winter months.
Reply:I would do as answerer Judy says and find out which variety yours is to see if it is hardy. If it is the one with large red flowers, it would only survive outside in the south of UK in very sheltered position.
I have an hibiscus outside but it is the hardy type (small white flowers with a magenta centre)...but having said that it didn't flourish this year....didn't like the conditions.
White fly can be got rid of by boiling up some rhubarb leaves and using the cooled liquid in a spray. (Beware it is poisonous.)
All the best with it.,

What are the little black specks on my new Hibiscus house tree?
Had the tree 1 1/2 days. Had 5 blooms yesterday, tonight I saw lots of small black specks on the flowers that I think may be some kind of bug that I need to treat. With what?
What are the little black specks on my new Hibiscus house tree?
Try dish soap diluted in water and spray it on the plant.

Help!!! Squirrels are EATING the buds from my hibiscus and other flowers!!?
They seem to like some flowers and others they leave alone. All of my rose buds have been eaten, and they even eat some green leaves from other plants. I have tried the red pepper dry, as well as liquid, and to no avail. I'm not sure but I think they are digging up any bulbs or tubers I plant into pots. Unbelievable the money I've wasted on plants that they destroy either by eating or digging up!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Help!!! Squirrels are EATING the buds from my hibiscus and other flowers!!?
Squirrels really love peanuts and they are not that expensive in the grocery store.. Make a stand away from the flowers and put the peanuts (in the shell) up high so the squirrels will climb for the peanuts. Also you can buy squirrel feeders at the hardware store. Good luck
Reply:I always believed feeding them as an alternative is just encouraging them to stay and invite their neighborhood friends.
It is not an absolute cure, but a determent: lay chicken wire on ground in front of each side of access to the plants. Many animals do not like walking on wire yet it can easily be rolled up to mow. One small area, I planted threw the openings of wire on top of dirt which kept cats out of it.
A neighbor had so much trouble with dogs %26amp; raccoons, he attached a motion detector to water sprinkler. Squirrels don't like the sprinkler either.
A row of sprayed cheap vegetable oil on outside edges reduces weeds, not harmful to environment and bugs/animals do not like getting into it. Don't get the oil to close to your planting roots. This is a good bug deterant around base of house: Spring, Fall %26amp; after each heavy rain.
Reply:Squirrels can be destructive little buggers. If they have a supply of water they may ignore your bulbs and buds. They are not eating them for the nutrition but more for their moisture content. I suggest you fill a birdbath with water, and they may leave your bulbs and plants alone.

I have a tri colour hibiscus tree in a pot and it doesnt look how its supposed to...?
when i got it,it was a stick with some roots so i planted it in a large pot and its in my garden...
the picture of it in my catalogue shows 3 balls of coloured flowers up the stem but im unsure how to look after it...
mine seems to have grown massive shoots with flowers all along them,its quite wild looking...
im unsure of how to get it looking neat and tidy with round balls of flowers in bloom!
maybe im supposed to prune as they grow to keep them short and this could make it bush out more?
if anyone knows how i can look after my hibiscus i would love the advise!
i live on a coastal river that can be lovely and sunny or on the other hand,very windy at times..
my front garden is riverfront entrance with sun most the day although i have a shadier area there...and my back garden gets sun later in the day and until then can be blowy at times...
where would be the best place to put it and should i keep it in a pot or plant?
also i have wisteria trees in pots and want to plant them
I have a tri colour hibiscus tree in a pot and it doesnt look how its supposed to...?
Hibiscus love sunshine, wind is ok too. It will grow larger in the ground but depends on where you live. Hibiscus can tolerate down to just above the freezing line and survive. (1 celcius, 33 farenheit), but cannot survive below freezing. In colder weather it will not flower much and depending on how cold perhaps not at all, but they flourish in the heat and sunshine. As far as pruning goes, you said that it was a tricolored hibiscus, This would indicate to me that it is a hibiscus which has had other colored hibiscus grafted into it which will make multiple colors. You can prune or not, you will still have blooms, but if you don't prune the original color will take over and become the strongest until the other colors disappear completely. Therefore you will not have 3 colors, but one eventually, probably a red since they are the hardiest and most common. If you want to have the larger and tri-colored blooms, you do need to prune. Hibiscus enjoy being pruned and bush right back out, so no problem there. By the way put it in the sunny side of your garden, it will be happiest there. Can't help you with the wisteria part of your question as I have never had this, but I have 15 hibiscus bushes at present in several varieties and colors. I find them to be one of the easiest plants/bushes to grow.
Reply:Thanks from 2 shy. Enjoy your hibiscus! Report It
Reply:Keep you hibiscus in a pot, it won't be frost hardy. Yes you need to prune it to get that bushy ball look.
Reply:your hibiscus should be in the ground as it is in its native land it should NOW be in flower very little pruning reqd if so after flowering
Reply:It depends on where you live if you can plant the hibiscus. If you live in a warm climate you and your tree will be fine. Your hibiscus sounds perfectly normal to me...you know the pictures of the trees and plants you bought were staged by a professional photographer, and things never look like that.
You should be able to plant your wisterias outdoors....they make wonderful trees and would look really lovely in your front yard.

It is not known what color it is, which cultivars were used to hybridize it, who hybridized, where it originated or even where it is found. This is from the International Hibiscus Society.

Reply:No one seems to have a picture of it. It is a registered cultivar but there is almost no other information available. None of the hibiscus databases have any information other than that it was registered when the database was started.
It is not known what color it is, which cultivars were used to hybridize it, who hybridized, where it originated or even where it is found. This is from the International Hibiscus Society.
