I have four #ChineseHibiscus plants, and they all struggled last winter when I brought them inside. It was my first time overwintering them and I did some things wrong. Lessons learned and I won’t make the same mistakes when I bring them in this year! Two of them have struggled a bit to produce flowers this summer, but I neglected to fertilize them (though I did repot in fresh soil at the beginning of spring) so I think that and just trying to recover from the winter could be the reasons. ANYWAY, this girl has struggled the most and all but one branch died last winter! She didn’t put out her first flower until a few weeks ago. BUT, I woke up this morning to this gorgeous double bloom! πŸ˜πŸ’–πŸŒΊ Diana, you’re doing great and I promise to do better this winter! #HappyPlants #OutsidePlants #OutdoorGrowing #Hibiscus #BeautifulBlooms #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #babevila

@BabeVila Beautiful blooms ! I lost my tree last year leaving it outside . It’s very normal for them to shed leaves in winter.
