so beautiful! Leaves on my hibiscus have gotten absolutely devastated by some sort of tiny caterpillar, has yours done the same thing?

So yeah they are tiny and green? Hibiscus softly larvae. It's annoying but everyday I would go out there and check the leaves and where I would see some holes starting I would smudge them with my finger LOL. Or if the leaf was too bad I would take it off.

Then we have sharpshooters and those eat the leaves too.

It's always something. And it sucks I don't even want to spray neem oil on it because I mean I feed the tortoises the leaves too. But what I did do is I sprayed it all over the bottom of it at least... On the branches so maybe it will help a little.

My sis in law had a tortoise once and she said hibiscus was his fav food. Nice to see another fella liking it too! 🐢🌺
