Hibiscus, house plant
« on: July 06, 2009, 21:53:04 »
I have a beautiful indoor hibiscus. I re potted it in the Spring & it is thriving apart from a few leaves go yellow & I either take them of or they drop of. Could it be magnesium deficiency?

Check carefully for red spider mite - they're rather partial to indoor hibiscus, and produce these symptoms initially

If it's only a couple of leaves don't worry... has it had a stand outside? Often helps in Summer, certainly keeps the Red Spider at bay...  :)
