How often should I water my hibiscus?

Hibiscus is very resistant to drought, but has poor tolerance to waterlogging. There is no need to keep the soil moist all the time during daily planting. Hibiscus grows rapidly in spring and autumn, so you can water it more appropriately, once every three days. In summer, if there is no abnormally hot weather, you can still water it at this frequency. For water selection, you can use rice water fermented in a cool place.

How to water hibiscus

1. Observe the growth: If the hibiscus flower is in a vigorous growth period, it needs to be watered frequently. At this time, photosynthesis is intense and a large amount of water is needed.

2. Soil moisture: When the soil has entered a state of deep drought and has become compacted and sandy, water the plant immediately to prevent the plant from dying due to further lack of water.

Watering precautions for hibiscus

1. No fertilizer is needed: Hibiscus likes a mild environment. If it is too fertile, it will lead to slow growth.

2. Water more when young: Compared with the mature stage, hibiscus seedlings require more water. As the plant grows, the amount of irrigation should be reduced.

What to do if you overwater hibiscus

1. Move to a sunny place: By strengthening plant photosynthesis and utilizing the plant's own metabolism, excess water can be neutralized.

2. Cover with dry soil: Cover the wet soil with dry soil, use the water's tendency to dry out to absorb excess water in the wet soil and regulate soil moisture.
