I have a potted hibiscus flower. Every time it blooms one out, it lasts exactly one day and then at night it closes up and falls out. I've never seen a hibiscus do that before. Am I doing something wrong or are there certain types for whom this is normal?

It's not you! I looked it up and read this: "The hibiscus flower only lasts a day, although many new hybrids have been bred which now last longer, even up to three days."

I have an article published on Gardener's Path covering hibiscus. Almost all species produce blooms that last one day, but some hybrids can last a little longer. They usually produce a lot of blooms, so it can seem like they stick around for a longer time.

Poor year

Has anyone else had a really poor year for tomato and cucumber this year in the greenhouse? Mine have been appaling 🤔

Plant pests

I've been dealing with these tiny ant-like bugs (but they can fly), and it seems like they're ruining my plants and causing damage! I've been trying neem oil but it doesn't seem to work. I had to repot my whole soil to get rid of them. Is there anyone who knows how to get rid of these in case they... read more
