HIBISCUS CARE: Summer Pruning| Feeding | Organic Tree Guard Paint

Charles Malki, Biologist & Plant Expert from ivorganics.com/ discusses hibiscus plant care. The generally accepted time for pruning your hibiscus is between late winter to early spring; however, by pruning in summer, we can encourage another flush of growth before dormancy and have a beautifully controlled size plant going into the fall and winter months. Any adjustments (additional pruning) to growth can then be followed in the preferred time of late winter / early spring.
Additional topics discussed were organic vs. chemical fertilizers, organic tree guard paint (IV Organic 3-in-1 Tree Guard Paint).

Thanku sir for the very informative video. Can you propagate those cuttings you have?

[@lovess4051]

very nice

[@LagoAZ]

How long does it take it to grow them like trees? That’s really cool.

[@sredlove707]

Hello, I think my Hibiscus tree is dead. It seem to be dried out and there are lots of weeds growing around it. Can you give me some advice as to how I can save it. Thanks

[@cyndifeeney1049]

One flower bloomed several days after feed. How often to feed and encourage many blooms?

[@melgo5589]

Hi Charles, are the IV Organic paint products available for shipping to Australia? How do I purchase these?

[@NathanSeneca]

Have you ever done a video on making your own compost/mulch?

Will the paint help reduce aphids?

[@prazhm01]

Hello. I really need some help with my yellow hibiscus 😢. I pruned it back this spring and maybe i didn't cut the branches correctly. How can I fed a picture of the plant? Is it possible that you can tell me if I need to cut the branches back even more. They don't seem to be growing back 😢. I do see some baby leaves growing at the bottom of the main branch. Please help😢. Thank you.

[@sylvia4425]

Still not clear as to where exactly we should cut on the branch? Near a leaf? Above a bump? Above a "branch"? and what exactly does a branch on a branch look like?...a bump or leaf? lol Seriously, I don't know. New home owner and I'm clueless and confused. Help! lol My goal is to make it as full as possible as a hedge/divider to hide our neighbor's mishmash wild garden. lol thanks!

[@marlyhort]

1/4 inch above the leaf - at the length you want.

[@caridology104]

what type of soil mix do you use when you plant your hibiscus tree? What do you recommend. I live in Northern California.

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Saryma, Will you be planting your tree in ground or in a pot? Charles

[@caridology104]

I just ordered your 3-in-1 paint. I will be planting them in the ground. thanks

[@IVOrganic]

Thank you so much for your business Saryma! The two products I would recommend that you can find at Home Depot or Lowes are the following Kellogg Garden Soils: First Choice: kellogggarden.com/products/kellogg/soils/index.php?s=gromulch Second Choice: kellogggarden.com/products/kellogg/soils/?s=amend When you did the hole, mix 1/2 of the purchased soil with 1/2 of your native soil. Add some organic fertilizer to the base of the hole, such as an Espoma product such as: www.homedepot.com/p/Espoma-8-lb-Plant-Tone-All-Purpose-Plant-Food-100047163/202258532 There are other organic choices with higher phosphorus content to encourage more flowers that you should be using in early spring. Here is another recommendation: www.homedepot.com/p/DR-EARTH-4-lb-Flower-Girl-Bud-and-Bloom-Booster-Dry-Fertilizer-707P/205827664 Remember to only fertilizer in Fall, Spring and Summer with these granular suggestions. A liquid fertilizer would have to be applied more frequently. No fertilizing in the winter as the plant goes into dormancy. I hope this helps! :) Feel free to contact me with any other questions! Charles :)

I just planted my tree last year. It dose not have any bud yet.

[@that_guy89x89]

Hello,,, I desperately need advice for my hibiscus tree......I have been noticing yellowing of the leaves then noticed today that at the bottom of the trunk it rotting out, but only one limb , and white fungus or mold !!!! What steps do I need to do to help my tree survive........😔 and Thanks

[@IVOrganic]

Hello That_Guy89 x, First step is to make sure your plant was not installed too deep--which is a common mistake. Check the soil around the trunk and make sure the roots start at no more than 1/4 inch, or so, below the soil level. Too much soil over the root ball can choke your plant's root ability to exchange gases. Second, make sure the soil is nearly dry between watering. Many people run automatic sprinklers without watching to see how the soil responds and to make necessary adjustments with more water in the summer months and less water in the winter months. Third, I would recommend our product, IV Organic 3-in-1 Tree Guard Paint which is infused with oils that protect the trunk from wood boring insects, sunburn, sunscald, rodents--and rot! You can find the product for sale on Amazon, Arbico Organics, HomeDepot.com, etc. An immediate and shorter term fix, after the above 2 steps are in check, is to spray some neem oil on the effected areas. That too will help alleviate the damage. Please keep me posted on your results! :) Charles

[@redredwine1277]

Awesome❗️very lovely, thanks for sharing
