Hello i have a hibiscus plant we have had it foe over a year. My boyfriend put it outside because our cat kept eating the leaves on it. after 24 hours i had gone outside to find it dead. I gave it some water and nothing i really love this plant any ideas ..We live in rhode island and i think it may have gotten shocked because it got kinda cold... Any ideas
Please help my hibiscus is dead????
Sounds like your plant froze, or at least came very close to it. A hibiscus is a tropical plant, and if you give it non-tropical conditions (too much cold, too little humidity, too much strong sunlight), it's not going to survive; it is NOT a tolerant plant. Pitch it, get a new one and take proper care of it. That means WARM and HUMID conditions, moderate to bright light (but NOT direct sunlight) ALL THE TIME; anything else will kill it, as you've found out. Once a hibuscus freezes, there's no saving it.
Reply:You can try to cut it back. Report It
Reply:They usually leaf out from the stems.........Keep an eye on it to see if the leaves come out....
Reply:It froze. Next one, put a parka on it.
