Hibiscus: I'm sad, and I don't know what happened. :-(, 1 by kbaumle

The tropical hibiscus that I carried so carefully home on the plane last February, planted outside in the spring, bloomed the latter half of summer, and bloomed with 16 blooms at a time in the house this winter has met with disaster of some sort. It bloomed three times again, just last week, and then the whole thing slowly started wilting. The whole thing is wilted now, even the nice new, green, large leaved new growth that looked healthier than I'd ever seen it. The leaves are not falling off, just every single one of them is wilted and drooped. I'm sure it will lose every last one of them. I don't know if the plant itself will die, but I think it surely will; it's gone downhill so fast.

I didn't do a thing differently. It's in a southern window in the family room and has been happy there for three months.

Win some, lose some, I guess. :-( I just wish I knew what happened.

The picture is from October, when it began blooming its 16 blooms.
