How to grow hibiscus in autumn

1. Suitable temperature

The most suitable temperature for hibiscus is between fifteen and twenty-eight degrees. In autumn, the main attention should be paid to the late autumn, when the temperature will slowly drop. If you are not careful, frost damage may occur. Therefore, appropriate anti-cold measures should be taken in late autumn.

2. Suitable light

Hibiscus is shade-tolerant, but it cannot be completely without light, otherwise it will be detrimental to its growth. Therefore, appropriate light exposure is still necessary in autumn. The light in autumn is not too strong, so you can get more sun.

3. Appropriate amount of water

It has strict requirements on water because it is afraid of waterlogging and is not drought-tolerant. You can water the plant according to the condition of the soil. When adding water, you should do it in moderation and avoid water accumulation. If there is a lot of rain, waterlogging prevention is needed.

4. Late Autumn Pruning

At the end of autumn, when winter is approaching, it should be pruned once so that it can safely spend the winter. First of all, the late autumn shoots should be pruned off. In addition, the too dense, sick, and dry branches should also be pruned off. This will improve the air permeability, ventilation, and light permeability, which is conducive to wintering.

5. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Generally, top dressing can be applied twice, and attention should be paid to the type. Generally, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer are used as the main fertilizers, with nitrogen fertilizer as the supplement.
