Last winter, our indoor hibiscus/gumamela plant gave us a beautiful bloom. With hibiscus/gumamela being a perennial plant in the Philippines, I was puzzled why just when summer is here, our hibiscus is dying.

I know that Hubs would get sad by this, that yet again one of his plants would die. So I didn’t have the heart to remove the leaves much less throw the plant away. For his part, even when all the leaves has dried up, Hubs still continued to water the plant (albeit he also didn’t remove the dead leaves hehe). Hubs didn’t give up on the plant. And it looks like his effort is taking fruit, er, leaves.

Beautiful, isn’t it? Time to clear away the dead leaves!
