I just wanted to know what organic fertilizer you guys and gals use on your hibiscus plants. I picked up one from whole foods, a Texas lemonade, and want to try to not kill it. I don't have a good track record with plants unfortunately.

I have super low quality soil and I don't ever fertilize. Hibiscus grow like crazy.
Just water young plants religiously and once established they are a no care plant.(IMO)

As long as they get good natural sun and get watered regularly they will do fine. I use fertilizer for my plants from my various insects I raise, I use superworms and roach frass.

Yeah so, my brown thumb is not doing so well. A few leafs have turned yellow, and not one bud had bloomed. They just fall off after a few days :( been watering it every morning and afternoon.

Yellow leaves may be an indication of OVER watering.
Just water every 2 days and once it is established, once a week.
I don't water mine at all once they get established. Rain does the trick.
