Hbiiscus problem.
I just bought and planted 2 hibiscus plants. I planted one on each
side of my garage. For some reason, one of them is in very bad shape, and I was looking for some help on determining why it was in such bad shape. Here is a pictu a href="http://www.atlanticshore.com/bad.jpg"http://www.atlanticshore.com/bad.jpg/a (400k). It has only been there 6 days and it looks this bad. The plant on the other side looks excellent. That area of the house does seem to flood a little, so I replanted it 2 days ago with some rocks in the soil hoping the roots wouldn't sit in standing water. Any help would be appreciated since I am not sure this is caused by too much water. Thanks in advance. - Dom |

But I'll give a shot. If your plant has only been planted in the ground for 6 day then I'd have to say that your hibiscus had issues before you bought it. From the photo, it looks like a leaf blight or a possible root rot but I can't be sure from that photo though. Your hibiscus could have a fungus of some sort also. It's really hard to tell with little information about the plant. Depending on where you bought the hibiscus, I'd suggest that you yank it out of the soil and take it back to the store you bought it from. Ask for a replacement to this diseased plant. When you replant, concider adding soil to make a berm or mound of sorts. This will help you with drainage issues. A 6 to 8 inch mound will do the job of keeping the roots drier. Good luck. |
