How to grow potted hibiscus

Soil for farming

Hibiscus is highly adaptable to soil and is not very demanding on it. It can thrive even in poor gravel sand or slightly alkaline soil. Of course, fertile soil and loose environment are most suitable for its growth.

Proper lighting

Hibiscus likes light and tolerates partial shade. During the growing period, you should pay attention to providing sufficient light. The light should not be too strong, and it should not be exposed to the scorching sun. In the hot summer, you should provide appropriate shade or move it indoors to avoid direct sunlight, which will make the flowers look discolored.

Suitable temperature

Hibiscus likes light and warmth. Therefore, a warm growing environment is most suitable for the growth of hibiscus. 18-25℃ is the best temperature for its growth, and it can also be slightly cold-resistant.

Appropriate amount of fertilization

When hibiscus sprouts, top dressing should be applied in time. Top dressing should mainly be quick-acting fertilizer, which can promote nutritional growth. Add 1-2 more applications of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering to promote bud formation and flowering of hibiscus. The flowering period of hibiscus is from May to October every year. During this period, two top dressings are applied in combination with weeding and soil cultivation to ensure the flowering yield and growth of the trees.
