Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Bought these two Hibiscus plants today, 1 by Dinu

I took a pic last night. On the left shows how the graft is tied up. I looked at the soil and it looked old enough. I'd once bought a similar thing with new soil and it never survived because it was kept on sale from the green house. It was a mistake on my part and cunning on the seller's part. Now I'm "twice shy". That one was a raw graft that needed some special care which I did not know.

On the right is the pic of the flower that had opened yesterday. Observe the leaves. Today, they are yellower. I put up a shade net over it and also protected the ones posted on top with plastic, so that direct sun will not fall on it for the entire duration of the noon and afternoon which are peak periods, what with my garden in on the west of the house.

I'll see that I maintain water consistently in the bed. Thanks for the tips ecrane3.
