Hewitt's Garden Centers > Questions > We brought a large variegated hibiscus from my moms in the back of truck. The leaves on one side are dead (browned and wilted)..what do I need to do? Do I just strip leaves that are damaged or cut those limbs? This very mature plant is about 4ft tall in a pot. I can’t let this plant die. Thanks Laura

Pluck off the dead leaves and keep in a full sun location.  Keep the soil lightly moist (not soggy wet) and feed it with a good soluble plant food…like Miracle Gro every 3 weeks or so.  It should grow new leaves but be patient.
