Tropical hibiscus are shrubby plants with beautiful flowers, which in our conditions can only overwinter indoors. Temperatures from 15 to 30C suit them, a lot of sun, but in summer they should be removed from direct sunlight in the hottest part of the day. It does not like very moist soil. They should be watered only when the soil is dry, watered abundantly, but make sure that there is a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot, so that excess moisture would not be retained and cause root rot. In the period from spring to autumn, it should be fertilized once a week, with flower fertilizer, and in winter there is no need for fertilization, unless the plant is standing in a warm and sunny place, then it should be fertilized once a month. In order to provoke flowering, pruning is done in the spring, although it can be done at any time of the year except winter. The main branches are shortened to 2/3, and the other branches are shortened to get a nice shape of the bush. Each cut branch will give several new ones, on the tops of which flowers will form.
It is necessary to replace the soil up to 3 cm of the pot surface with a mixture of humus and fertilizer based on decomposed manure and algae during the year. These are my biscuits at the time of flowering, spring, summer.
It's winter now, my plants are dormant. They have no leaves or flowers. I can’t wait for spring to leaf and bloom again.
We don't place it in pots. Instead we plant it as barriers in our backyards. They are beautiful when they bloom. ❤️
