My hibiscus plants "seem" healthy, and flower, and most of the leaves are dark green. However they experience chronic leaf yellowing. Can anyone give some insight into what I need to adjust?
I live in Phoenix and have planted 5 Hibiscus, 2 in large clay pots and 3 in the ground. All get a lot of sun and of course high temps in the summer.
When I insert a soil moisture meter, it usually indicates "medium wet" in most spots, and sometimes dry in a spot not covered by the drip line.
They've been planted about 5 months, and are on a drip that waters the pots 54 min every 5 days, and the ground plants every 5 days for 2 H.
They are In standard garden soil, and I occasionally water with miracle grow (once a month in addition to the drip).
The leaves are not dry/crunchy as in dehydration. I think it's been too long for it to be transplant shock?
Thanks for the help!!
Hearty Thanks this Memorial Day weekend to all our Veterans!
Too much water or too little?
