I'm new to plants.
I bought 2 rose of Sharon and a hibiscus for my tort (I want to give variety), but one of my rose of Sharon leaves are just not healthy looking at all (the one below) and there are several yellow leaves. Does anyone know what's wrong? I water them like once every 2 or 3 days by feeling the dirt a few inches below and wait till the soil is just a little moist, and I soak them each time I water them. As you can see, there are some small black dots on the leaves. There are also small spiders sitting on their webs throughout the plant.
Here is my other one that looks somewhat healthier.
Both plants' leaves used to be somewhat darker when I first got them. So they slowly got more yellow when I bought them.
Just for kicks, here is my hibiscus and my spineless prickly pear pots next to it. The hibiscus is much healthier than my 2 rose of Sharon. No problems with it.
