How to fertilize Hibiscus Trionum
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 Hibiscus Trionum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Ok,I just found a mulberry plant in a pot. It had large cotyledons,so I thought it was mangosteen until the new leaves came. The new leaves were serrated and there was a mulberry tree near me. Meaning it came from the mulberry tree from pigeon poop and rain.

How do I save my plant? I’m not sure why the leaves are yellowing and it’s getting droopy. I just bought it about a week ago. I use tropical soil and put it in this white plastic pot. Greg is saying it still doesn’t need water but it looks dehydrated to me?
