| I thought I had figured out why the leaves on the bottom of my hibicus are turning yellow....every day there are a couple more that turned yellow....I thought that it was getting too much water....but I put my finger in the soil and I found that it wasn't soaking wet.....so I'm really confused....there were ants on it...but I got rid of those and I can't find any other bugs on it....I'm really confused....it gets plenty of sun light...it has tons of flowers on it....I just don't get why some leaves are turning yellow? |

| Hi cbressler, Without seeing pictures, I'd say natural cycle of life. Always some leaf drop occurs. If not, can get worse when plant is under stress, say hot weather or rain over an extended period where food gets leached from soil or needs a feed. They are gross feeders so if you don't feed enough the new growth sucks life from old leaves so new growth can occur, they old leaves turn yellow and drop. Good luck, Brian Kerr. |
