I have a new 10'' Hibiscus Spiral tree and the leaves are turing Yellow and Falling off?

On the tag it reads LIght: Sun to partial shade and it is a sunny and pm shady area.

put it in the shade, especially in the afternoon, if the leaves are turning yellow, you have overwatered it, Can it drain properly, are there holes in the bottom of the pot? If the water cant drain hten it will sit on the roots of the plant and rot them, which in turn makes the leaves yellow. Put it in the shade and dont water it for a couple of days, hope this helps
Reply:You say it is new - and it could just be thaht your plant is adjusting to the new home and conditions. So providing you have followed all the instructions, just give it a bit of time to settle.





Plants are more sensitive than we think!!





I love Hibiscus plants and usually they behave, but one of mine had a similar problem to yours - I had recently repotted it, and I think it was re-adjusting to its new home.





I also wondered if the air was too hot and dry where it was and so moved it into a different place.





If only they could talk!!





You could try talking to your plant, reassuring it that you like it a lot and welcoming it to your home....(probably best to do this when you are in the house on your own)
