Help looking for advice.. I had recently just got a hibiscus bush and it’s in its pot that it came in. And it’s about time that I repot it, but I’m just not sure how big the pot needs to be or what type of soil it needs etc. Anything helps!!

Rule of thumb is is one size up from the original container

I love to plant mine in nursery pots then put in a decorative pot

I have 3 hibiscus plants and only had them a couple of weeks . The leaves are already turning yellow ! What am i doing wrong?

Did you repot them?

Usually when leaves are yellow but not crispy it’s over watering

Or it could be just stressed remember it takes plants about 2-4 weeks to readjust to their new environments

I’ve also read that they prefer acidic soil, hopes this helps!
