Title: Wilt Disease Post by: Nievesgirl on April 23, 2011, 05:54:41 PM I think I just killed my Gator pride. It looks like it has wilt disease so i mixed 1 pint bleach 1 quart water on accident instead of 2 quarts water. I rinsed the roots after I saw my mistake. I re potted it with new soil and gave it super nova. Do you think I killed it ?

Hope you get lucky. I was following HVH directions on how to kill wilt disease http://www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com/care/wiltdisease.htm Title: Re: Wilt Disease Post by: davidwood on April 23, 2011, 10:50:32 PM I was following HVH directions on how to kill wilt disease Just read it and yes you need to use a pint, well maybe you will be ok,fingers crossed.http://www.hiddenvalleyhibiscus.com/care/wiltdisease.htm Title: Re: Wilt Disease Post by: Charlie on April 29, 2011, 09:19:12 AM Hibiscus are amazingly tolerant of bleach. No doubt there is a limit but since it breaks down very fast in the presence of organic matter it may not have hurt your plant. It should not take too long to find out - please let us know. On the positive side it probably killed all the microbes that may have been plaguing the plant!
