Hey Everybodddie!

Saw-reeee.....forgot my mask! Sticking tongue out

Thanks for all the nice comments, acorns, & thumbs! Smiling

Abutilons are so easy....this one is in a large pot outside our kitchen and
just gets morning sun. I just have to trim it every so often if it gets lanky.
And I always save some cuttings as they root well in water. (I cut the growing tip
off, cut the leaves in half, and leave 2 nodes in the water).

Here are some pics of the plant.....be safe, have a great day. Thumbs up

Beautiful pics Cal. Thank you for posting them. I'm guessing it's a No Id Abutilon, since you didn't mention the variety.

Thanks, Marilyn.
No, I don't know what the name was. It's been in that pot at least 10 yrs, and don't even
remember where I bought it.

We also had another plant that looked like an abutilon, but was told it
was a different genus.....the flowers were pink, and not pendulous.
Very thin stems, but did well inside in a pot in the window with less sun
than the orange abutilon.

I think mealybugs got it while my back was turned. Crying
