need help with plants during this weather
hi folks i have a couple of plants that don't seem to be fairing to well
with the current weather and i need some help aloe vera plant - a friend has some aloe vera and pulled some out of her pot for me and i replanted then in new soil (specific for succulents) but with the weather changes the outter leaves are looking 'jelly like' and turning soft yellowish. i've no idea what i'm doing wrong. should i keep it indoors instead of leaving it outside? hibiscus - bought it from homedepot. has been flowring wonderfully but now the leaves are turning yellow. it's real heavy to move around so it's outside. does this need to be brought in for the austin 'winter' pride of barbados - bought it at home depot as well, didn't really flower all that much but now the leaves are all falling off. does this have to be kept indoors as well? thanks in advance!!!!!! |

If it's turning jelly like, it's been hit by way too cold air. You can bring it back indoors, remove the dead tissue and see if you can get more to grow from the roots. Do NOT over water it. hibiscus - bought it from homedepot. has been flowring wonderfully but now the leaves are turning yellow. it's real heavy to move around so it's outside. does this need to be brought in for the austin 'winter' If the foliage was dark green and shiny, it will not survive winter here. If the foliage was a matt green, much lighter in color, it is hardy. pride of barbados - bought it at home depot as well, didn't really flower all that much but now the leaves are all falling off. does this have to be kept indoors as well? http://www.tropilab.com/caesal-pul.html thanks in advance!!!!!! |

As others have posted, get it drier and remove the damaged leaves. hibiscus - bought it from homedepot. has been flowring wonderfully but now the leaves are turning yellow. it's real heavy to move around so it's outside. does this need to be brought in for the austin 'winter' Most years, tropical hibiscus will survive the urban Austin winter if sheltered, but will look like the devil as soon as they get a blast of cold (45F) air. I keep a cool greenhouse and typically allow my outdoor hibiscus to chill and lose their leaves. Then I trim them back and overwinter them in the coolest part of the greenhouse to encourage them to not put out too many stunted leaves. If you protect them from cold and have a way to give them lots of light, they will bloom most of the winter. Example. The one on my south facing porch has one side (toward the house) still growing while the other looks like it was torched. Tonight it will get trimmed and stored for the winter. pride of barbados - bought it at home depot as well, didn't really flower all that much but now the leaves are all falling off. does this have to be kept indoors as well? I haven't a clue. thanks in advance!!!!!! |

Some years it puts out new leaves on the old stems in the spring; some years it doesn't. When it doesn't, we cut it back and it send up new shoots, which eventually produce new leaves and flowers. |
