I have inherited some plants and don't seem to be doing to
well with them.  I hope that someone on the net can help.

The hibiscus was neglected (not watered) and has almost made
it to the compost pile.  Any suggestions on reviving.  It's a
four inch plant made from a cutting.  Should I just take some
more cuttings?  Best time? Best method of propagation?

The bosai are equally sad, looking semi-alive.  Should I use
any fertilizer on it?  Do they mind the heat and sun (I'm 
unfortunately living in southern California, but that's another
story.)  Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated.
