I was wondering about the hibiscus. I stopped putting them in containers since they got so big.

I was surprised to see how big the Irisine got. I admit to being terribly neglectful of my pots (which is why so many of mine are filled with succulents that appreciate benign neglect). However, after viewing the spectacular results of your efforts, I'm curious to see how much better I can do by providing more routine attention.
