Any help would be much appreciated...

I'm glad to hear that some people are going to try the WiltPruf as a spider mite cure in their conditions. Please let us know how it goes for you.

The bamboo stakes are great for shaping hibiscus. It may take time and you may not get a perfectly straight trunk but it will help.

It's interesting to hear how people are growing their hibiscus in different areas. Everyone is using some shade, probably a good thing in this year of weather extremes.

Turns out that Cindy wants to get a small start on the restocking this coming weekend.

Thats great!  I have my eye on 5 cv's I hope some of them are going to be available!  Thanks for the heads up...

hmmm I wonder if the wilt-pruf will work on thrips ?
I will be buying this stuff called einstein oil along with a spray pump. Many people said the EO kills mites and thrips so we will see.

The national distributor that supplies some of our products also offers Einstein Oil. I looked at it last year but could not in good conscience offer it to our customers because it is a hugely overpriced neem oil product. Marketed as a "leaf polish" to  the pot growing crowd that seems to thrive on hype it seems to me to be more of an ingenious marketing idea than an ingenious product. You can find 100 percent pure neem oil products at a fraction of the price - I would definitely try one of them first if you want to try neem oil on your hibiscus.

BTW, the same national distributor also offers a far more reasonably priced neem oil product called Bioneem Organic that is available from the HVH store and other retail outlets.
