My indoor hibiscus, which is special friend gave to me many years ago (I. E. It has high sentimental value), started sprouting all these beautiful leaves this spring, which subsequently over the past six weeks have all been falling off at a fairly alarming rate. I finally took it out of the pot to investigate, as I suspected it was root-bound. Boy, is that an understatement! It’s pretty much all roots, and almost no soil. I’m not even sure how to approach this. I’ve stuck it in a bucket of water for now to try to loosen the matted root tendrils a bit. What do I need to know?
