Hibiscus

Hi,

I have been growing two hibiscus plants indoors from a cutting I took in spain for about five years. They have grown really well and have really lovely flowers on them but this year they have been attacked by Aphids, and I have been battling to get rid of them.

The plants now are having lots of yellow leaves on them, despite growing some new ones.

I was thinking maybe I have overwatered them? but I dont want them to die, so if anyone has any ideas I would really welcome them.

    Hi I live in Spain and have a few hibiscus in my garden.  The older ones also have some yellow leaves but as you say are getting new leaves and mine are flowering freely.  I just wondered if the yellow leaves (which eventually fall off) are just its way of shedding old growth??
