How to fertilize Hau Hele
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hau Hele after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s causing this to happen to the leaves? I recently moved my #Hibiscus to an east facing window which is the only change I made. And, I noticed these brown spots on the leaves. What is wrong with it? #HappyPlants #help #Greggers #NewPlants #ChineseHibiscus #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

What Is Going On? What is happening to my #Hibiscus ? The only change I made was move it from a south facing window to an east facing window. Other than that, everything else is the same. But I just noticed two of its top leaves looking weird. What are those brown spots? Is it a fungal issue? Whatever it is, how do I treat it? Please #help Thanks in advance! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #GregGang #Greggers #ChineseHibiscus #FloweringPlants #sickplants

My plant is in a sunny south facing window but is constantly drooping and needs water. It also growing like crazy. Is this plant ok to be indoors in a pot or should it be in the ground outside? I am in nj so I know it can’t go out now #ChineseHibiscus
