Re: indoor plant maintenance

Barb,
Can you increase the light for the Hibiscus?If so bring it into the
brightest area possible and feed it lightly with of course more water to
match its growth.Many folks grow these in bright light indoors,year
round.Your fortunate to have wintered it over so well and it should be
blooming well when spring/summer arrives.(dont forget to use a well balanced
fert.with the last number at least as high as the other two ,so it will
support the flowering needs.)
Seems like  I remember advise saying to fertilze Jasmine after flowering but
maybe someone knows for sure.Your avacado would proably benefit from a light
feeding and increase it with increasing light of spring.
Sorry about your weather..Its relatively mild here but oh so grey,I am a
canidate for SAD(one who get depressed for lack of sunlight).Good luck I
hope this helped.
