Cultivation methods and precautions of Hibiscus truncatum

1. Suitable soil

Hibiscus tiliaceus cannot be planted and cultivated in heavy and compacted soil, otherwise it will not grow well. In order to ensure a good foundation for growth, you can provide soil with good air permeability and drainage. You can basically meet the needs by mixing it yourself with river sand, leaf mold and organic fertilizer. For convenience, you can directly purchase nutrient soil for cultivation.

2. Temperature range

For hibiscus, the suitable growth temperature is around 15-28℃. It is relatively cold-resistant, but you must also pay attention to cold protection in winter to prevent the plant from being frostbitten. In summer, do a good job of cooling down and spray water appropriately to lower the surrounding temperature.

3. Plenty of Sunlight

Hibiscus tiliaceus has high requirements for sunlight and is a sun-loving plant. It can be grown in a bright place with more than 6 hours of sunlight a day. Adequate exposure to sunlight can make the plant grow strong and ensure the amount of flowering. If the growing environment is too shaded, it will affect its growth.

4. Water and Fertilizer Management

Water the plant regularly during the growing season. The soil in the pot should not be too dry, nor should there be too much water accumulation. Especially in summer, the plant should be watered once a day. During the rapid growth period, fertilizer should be applied in time, and it can be applied every 10-15 days.

5. Notes

In addition to normal maintenance, hibiscus also needs to pay attention to pruning and prevention of diseases and pests.
