# A coworker gave me a hibiscus plant. She was looking incredibly…

_Posted by happysoxdonkey on 2025-08-04_

A coworker gave me a hibiscus plant. She was looking incredibly droopy and many leaves were eaten by bugs. I planted her today where she will get full sun and then watered her. I also pruned off any leaves that were really eaten by bugs and sprayed with neem oil. Her roots looked healthy.

I am much more into indoor plants. Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for her care?
