Why is this hibiscus not progresssing?
I have two hibiscus plants at either side of my garage. The one on the left has always had troubles. Sickly looking, gets pests very often (compared to the other one). When I cut it down (along with the other one) this spring, the leaves were growing back but crunched up, crippled. Both plants have been there since 2003 and both have received fertilizer at the same time. Could it be the location? (one has more space in ground that the other), or is the plant sick and needs to be discarded?
if you look at the garage door, there is one at either side of the door, facing the front, same direction, same sunlight. But the sick one is planted on a small area, while the right one has all the side lawn to extend her roots. This could be the problem. They both get the same sunlight and fertilizer. I think it's either the soil or the plant itself.
Take a look at the soil. Texture, Density. Maybe the roots are having trouble. Also look at what one is getting that the other is not, i.e amount of sunlight etc etc.
Since they are on the side of the garage, is the one on the left where the exhaust from your vehicle goes? Or do you dump something there, soap water etc etc?
Edit: After reading your add ons, that is most likely it. The one on the left doesn't have adequate space to extend her roots.
Edit: Try relocating her to a different location and see how she does. If she does well its the are she was in. If she remains the same then it must be the plant.
