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!

i do my research and found that difference plant contain difference % of carbon and nitrogen.why carbon content is higher in stem of bird of paradise stem compared to other part of it?
but for Garden balsam why %C is higher in it leaves compared to it's stem, flower and roots?
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.

Making my own Artifical Bouquets?
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.

Reply:Above All Tattoo in PB. I've had friends who have been tattooed there and they all had a great experience and their tattooes look really good. Last time I was in there someone was getting a pretty detailed backpiece done and it looked amazing. I'm getting another tattoo in a couple months and I plan to go there.

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
