All of the sunset blooms came up this morning and I’m OBSESSED
I had a beautiful potted hibiscus plant with blooms that were five or 6 inches in diameter, as big as a cat’s head or my hand.
I recently put that potted hibiscus outside of my screen lanai. As of yesterday, it had all its leaves and one or two blooms and some buds.
It’s 1:30 PM on Wednesday and I just looked over at it and it has been completely decimated. 99% of the leaves are gone. All the buds are gone and the branches look like something snapped them or chew them or someone cut them with a scissor.
I live in North Port Florida. We do have raccoons and other wild things walking around at night, but I’ve had hibiscus plants for decades and I’ve never had this happen before no one has been in my backyard.
I have a huge potted plumeria plant and it wasn’t touched at all right next to it
Was it the raccoons? Ants ? Caterpillars? Did the aliens come and take samples like ET did there are no leaves on the floor there’s nothing it’s like they’re gone.
I’ll post before and after pictures
Pretty sure it's sick. Any idea what's going on? Lots of water and sun.
Everything is doing great even with <4hrs of actual sunlight.
She's gonna push pretty blue flowers when the season arrives❤️
Hi guys, new hibiscus owner here. I bought this a week or two ago, I haven’t repotted it yet.
I’m in Maryland. It’s been too cold at night so I’ve been keeping it in a sunny place inside. Over the weekend it warmed up, so I finally put it on our balcony on Saturday morning. Sat and Sun were low 80s, but Today has been very hot, with temperatures approaching 100.
Today, I come home to find the plant like this. It looked like 95% fine yesterday. I water it a little bit every day, but only a little bit. Am I over or under watering? Is it too much of a sun/temperature shock? Or do I just need to re-pot?
I wouldn’t describe the leaves as dry or crunchy, but they look like it.
The second pic is from Friday, right before I put it outside :( this happened very fast! Any help is appreciated!!
I grew these from seed last year and just transplanted them into larger pots?
There’s no sign of new growth and I’m wondering are they even going to grow back.
As you can see, I got three healthy stems from each plant by the end of last summer. Two of them bloomed.
