Cultivation methods and precautions of the hibiscus flower

How to grow the hibiscus flower

Pot soil selection

When planting the curled flowers in pots, you can choose loose, fertile, humus-rich sandy soil, or you can use garden soil and fine sand and add some base fertilizer. The flowerpot should be selected to suit the size of the hibiscus flower and should be replaced as the hibiscus flower grows.

Light and temperature

The hibiscus flower likes a growing environment with plenty of sunlight. It is relatively cold-resistant and avoids heat. During the growing season of the Berberis odoratus, it needs to be exposed to sufficient light and can be placed in a sunny place outdoors for maintenance. The suitable temperature for the growth of Flexus chinensis is between 15℃ and 35℃, and attention should be paid to the hot summer.

Watering and fertilizing

Berberis cernua is afraid of both drought and waterlogging, and needs to be watered moderately. In spring and winter, the soil in the pot should be kept moist. In summer and autumn, it should be watered once every morning and evening. Watering should also be increased when the temperature is high and there is little rain. The amount of fertilizer applied must also be controlled. If too much fertilizer is applied, the plant will grow too tall. On the contrary, too little fertilizer will cause the plant to grow poorly, the leaves will turn yellow and the flowering will be reduced. During the peak growth period in spring and summer, more fertilizer is needed. In autumn, growth slows down and fertilizer can be reduced. The plant is dormant in winter and no fertilizer is needed.

Reproduction method

For the propagation of the genus Ipomoea, bulbs are used to produce bulbils. Bulbs can be cultivated from bulbils, scales, small bulbs and seeds.

The plants of the hibiscus flower need to be adjusted during their growth period. When seedlings emerge, only the strong stems of the layering are retained. During the growth process, some flower buds and flower buds should be cut off to promote the growth of the plant. After the hibiscus flowers bloom, the remaining flowers should be cut off to extend the flowering period of the hibiscus flowers. It is also necessary to cut off the overly long, overly dense, dead and diseased branches of the Curcuma at any time to ensure the good growth of the Curcuma.

Repotting

Potted hibiscus flowers need to be repotted and soiled every 2 to 3 years to facilitate further growth of the plant.
