# My first time having a hibiscus plant- can anyone help me? The leaves…

_Publié par Kimchi le 2025-05-20_

My first time having a hibiscus plant- can anyone help me? The leaves keep turning yellow 😵‍💫  
It outside on my back porch getting full sun and I water her like once a week.  
Any ideas?

Yellowing leaves is common on hibiscus. It can be caused by watering issues, low fertilizer, pests, low light or fluctuating temperatures. Depending on where you live once a week might not be enough water for your plant. Or depending on where you live you may be having some wide temperature swings between night and day so this might be causing stress.

Zone 8a- lots of humidity here. We definitely have had fluctuations in temps here for sure.  
Thank you for the feedback 🙏🏼
