Re: Hi/hardening hibs

Hi Donna

If you brought your hib in without hardening it off you can expect some 
yellow leaves.  Not to worry they will grow back.  Do you have it in 
front of a well lit window?  When these hibs suffer stress they will 
lose leaves and may drop some buds.  It will get used to it's new 
location and be just fine.  Check for spider mites inside.  If you get 
mottled yellow leaves or see webbing give it a shower.  Otherwise these 
are pretty resilient plants.

Glad you're enjoying it.
