Why do the leaves of the small hibiscus wither? Do they fall off in winter?

1. What is the reason why the leaves of Hibiscus truncatum wither?

1. Unsuitable soil: The drying of its leaves is most likely caused by unsuitable soil. It likes to grow in a soil environment with good drainage, looseness and breathability. If the soil is not changed for a long time during the breeding period, it will easily become compacted or sticky, which will hinder growth and respiration. The new soil should be replaced in time, and it will slowly recover.

2. Improper lighting: It is a sun-loving plant and cannot grow without the sun. If it is placed in a dark place for a long time during cultivation, its leaves will turn yellow and dry. Move it to a bright spot and block out strong light in the summer.

3. Lack of water: It likes a slightly moist soil environment. If the soil is too dry during the growing period and the roots cannot absorb water, the leaves will gradually turn yellow and appear dry. Therefore, you should water it frequently during maintenance so that it can grow more healthily. Be careful not to over-water and avoid water accumulation.

2. Does Hibiscus truncatus shed its leaves in winter?

The temperature is lower in winter. If the temperature can be controlled well and a suitable growth environment is provided for it, it will not shed its leaves and will continue to grow. However, if the environment is not suitable and the temperature is too low, the plant will easily suffer frost damage, and the leaves will turn yellow and fall off. However, as long as we pay attention to control, the situation will slowly recover after the temperature rises next year.
