Diana---Thanks.

Here in the east--Hibiscus is a houseplant--and has to be maintained as such.
I imagine where you live--it grows outside year round?

Much of what you mention has already be done...like the Systemic.
I still think the yellowing is in response to the damage from the White Flies.
They can destroy the bottom side of the leaves in a couple days.
You never mentioned this as the cause of the yellowing???

I just bought this Hibiscus. So--it has a ways to go. They come in 3 gal, black, nursery pots.
I transplanted it to a 14" pot and gave it a good dose of Systemic granules.

Thank you for the idea of using a light on it for the winter.

When winter is here--my house has about 100 plants all over. it is tricky to place
everything where it will semi-thrive. I have NO idea where this Hibiscus will end up.

So far--for the many years I ave been doing this with all my plants--nothing has ever died.

Here's what my LR looks like all winter... Gita
