Aloha! 🌺

I’ve been hard at work with my hibiscus. I’ll get blooms (as pictured), and the bloom doesn’t open, it just falls off. I had beautiful, shiny green leaves before I moved the plant for more sun. She got destroyed and has holes in the leaves now. 😔

I had mealybugs on the plant and have manually removed with rubbing alcohol and sprayed Arber Bio Insecticide on it thoroughly — it’s been about 1 1/2 months of this. Mealybugs are certainly difficult to get rid of completely; there are not as many, though they’re still there.

Anyone have tips, tricks, help to grow my hibiscus beautiful and healthily? Hibiscus’s are my favorite flowers and it’s been a work in progress, though often times I feel as if I’m spinning my wheels (especially when I see the blooms just pop off 😩).

Mahalo! 🤙🏼
