Indoor Hibiscus Plants?
My Leopards love the flowers from my two Hibiscus bushes I have in the garden, can they have the flowers from the indoor hibiscus as well? My local garden centre has some lovely plants with magnificent flowers andloads of buds, but want to make sure before I buy them.

I think you can feed the flowers, but not so sure about the leaves, as they are glossy.
Torts can eat the flowers and leaves of the garden variety hibiscus.

I think that's right, Sandy. I definitely remember hearing that the indoor hibiscus (with the glossy leaves wasn't as good for torts, but I think the flowers were OK). Maybe Piglet will know.
