They are so beautiful! As soon as my house sells in Pennsylvania, I’m setting down roots in Texas! God Bless Texas!

Merci pour votre vidéo, j'habite le sud de la France près de la Méditerranée et viens d'acquérir cette plante, votre vidéo m'est bien utile: j'ai compris qu'il faut que je l'arrose beaucoup l'été car le climat méditerranéen est sec. Sinon j'ai bien compris pour la taille l'hiver il faut que je coupe les vieilles tiges de la saison précédente et sans doute devrai-je tuteurer la plante.

Very beautiful 💞thank you for the video

[@rebeccaluttinen3880]

Do you know if the flowers are edible?

[@BKsWildlifeWorld]

Sorry I am not sure about that - but I do know they are pretty to look at. 🤣

They're safe for humans, but they're toxic to cats.

I have the Texas star hibiscus it’s growing good but the top leaves have started curling what does that mean am I not watering it enough how do I fix this

[@BKsWildlifeWorld]

I would make sure it’s getting plenty of sun, and water. It’s a plant that looks worse during heat of day but in morning and evening when sun and heat aren’t as intense it looks better. Definitely likes moist conditions but main sure it’s getting good drainage also.

[@dianebarcheers2348]

@@BKsWildlifeWorld thank you so much for replying. It’s getting lots is sun I was scared of watering it a lot so I will water more all of the bottom leave look good but the top leaves started the curling. It’s a transplant from another location so was scared maybe I had done something. Thank you so very much for responding

I just created a new video showing my experience growing this plant from seeds. I was curious to try growing it from seed myself. 👍 Here is the link if you want to check it out. Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnvQpZmnobpqmrM

Flowers are beautiful, have never seen it before. Do you have any seeds to sale?

[@BKsWildlifeWorld]

I don’t at this time but will keep you posted if I get some in the future.

[@user-kc5dq4dl9m]

What month do they start to grow back?

[@BKsWildlifeWorld]

For me it’s usually in April. Once the temperatures start warming and you see green coming in on other plants in Spring the Texas Star won’t be far behind. Just remember it grows back from the ground, so be patient - and don’t look for new growth on old wood. Hope this helps! 🌺

[@dmariewalker6880]

Are they fast growing from seed? Do I need to soak the seeds before planting? A friend from Texas sent me some seeds. Thanks!

[@myrtlebeachpimp]

[@dmariewalker6880]

@@myrtlebeachpimp our winters would kill the seeds. No worries in NW Indiana

I'm only here because my plant is dieing away but I guess it's normal for the winter. December. 9. 24

[@BKsWildlifeWorld]

@@mr.gramirez It’s not dying. It’s going dominant. You will see. In winter it basically turns into a hollow stalk and makes you think it’s a goner…but in Spring when it warms up you will start seeing green coming back up from below the soil surface. 👍
