How do I care for an overwatered hibiscus?

I have removed it from the pot where it was sitting in water and placed in on rocks to make sure it's well aired. I've been removing the yellow leaves. I did this 6 days ago and there are still new yellow leaves; is this normal? (On the plus side, there's a new bud growing)

If you really want to do the best thing for your plant, you will need to cut off the new bud. Hard as it is, it is the best thing for it. You want the energy of the plant to go to healing, not producing blooms right now. Repot your plant in a slighlty larger pot, and I agree for most plants clay is better, it allows air into the root system and help in the growth of new roots. Prune off all yellowing leafs and keep it up until your see new growth (leafs). What you want to achieve is more roots than plant, this helps to repair any damage or stress caused from too much water. Once it is back on track, feed a weekly routine of a flowing plant food, according to the directions of the brand you choose. I feed a more diluted mixure more regurally, but that depends on your growing conditions, in general potted plants can not take as much food as those in the ground.

Reply:re-pot in a better pot use gravel at the bottom to help keep the soil fairly moist but not wet.... just keep removing the yellow leafs and by next yr you should have a better looking plant.... don't expect instant results.....careful what soil you choose. refrain from using one that retains water... having gravel at the bottom will allow the water to drain to the bottom and the roots will take what it needs without the rot.
Reply:Now you can plant it in new soil. You are doing everything correctly. Putting it in a soiless mix will help one with a slow release fertilizer.
Reply:Let the plant dry out, or why don't you just re-pot it . I have learn that when you place plants in a clay pot they do much better good luck.
