    Hi,
    My first question is, why do the leaves on my tropical hibiscus turn yellow with green spots? Photo below. They are in well-drained loamy soil in pots, frequently watered, and are outdoors in light shade in summer, in atrium under hort lights in winter. They grow, thrive and bloom, but will have five or six leaves doing the yellowing thing. Normal life cycle of leaves? Missing nutrients? Ph problem? Improper watering?
    Next question - How do I get my green cardamom to bloom and make seed pods? Makes gobs of new shoots, but only grows to about two feet tall, and won't bloom. Care is same as for my hibiscus.

    Thanks!
