It is best to choose loose and drained soil to grow hibiscus. Hibiscus is a shade-loving plant, but it is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient sunlight.

Hibiscus is relatively fond of sunlight and needs to be provided with sufficient light to grow well. If there is sufficient sunlight, the flower color will be more colorful and more ornamental. However, try to avoid direct sunlight.

Watering hibiscus flowers

When growing hibiscus, there is no need to give it too much water, especially in the southern region. You can let it grow naturally. When watering, be sure to water it thoroughly only when the soil is dry. Generally, water it once every 7 days.

Fertilizing Hibiscus

Hibiscus does not require much fertilizer, but in order to make the flowers more beautiful and the branches and leaves more lush, fertilization should be done frequently. When fertilizing, be sure to use less fertilizer each time and the concentration should not be too high.

Hibiscus pest and disease control

If hibiscus flowers are infested with insects, the plants may be malnourished, and the leaves may turn yellow or even fall off. After discovering the pests, wash the entire plant with plenty of water and then spray it with dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane.

Matters Needing Attention in Hibiscus Care

When growing hibiscus, you must pay attention to pruning. Pruning can limit its growth and prevent it from growing too tall or too big. If it grows too tall or too big, its growth may be affected due to limited soil in the pot. Pruning the branches can also promote the hibiscus to grow more new branches, so that the whole hibiscus plant will look fuller and more beautiful.
