How to grow hibiscus

1. Fertilizer

Hibiscus is a perennial flower of the Malvaceae family. It can be planted in the ground or in pots. Today we will mainly talk about potted hibiscus. It is a deep-rooted flower, so when choosing a flowerpot, you must choose a relatively large and deep pot to facilitate the growth of its roots. Because hibiscus blooms in large quantities and has a large number of flowers, it has relatively high requirements for fertilizer. The potting soil we use for cultivation can be a mixture of garden soil, compost and river sand in a ratio of 6:3:1. We can also use phosphorus and nitrogen plus compound fertilizer plus floating sand or perlite and then mix them for cultivation.

2. Light and moisture

Hibiscus must be kept in sufficient light during maintenance. It is not easy for it to bloom in a hidden environment. It has relatively high requirements for water and sufficient water must be ensured. Its growth will be affected in a dry environment. Its flowers are relatively large and there are more of them. During the flowering and growing periods, we should pay attention to timely topdressing. Generally speaking, we can apply a thin layer of decomposed liquid fertilizer every ten days or so, and pay attention to increasing the content of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer to meet the requirements of flowering.

3. Winter maintenance

The above-ground part of hibiscus will die in winter, and the underground part will survive the winter in the form of roots. If it is maintained indoors, we recommend keeping it at a room temperature above 10 degrees, so that it can safely survive the winter. If it is a relatively cool environment around 0 degrees, stop fertilizing completely, control watering, cut off the dead parts, and let it survive the winter smoothly.
