Care Tips:

*1. Light:

Tropical hibiscus: Needs full sun (at least 6 hours daily) to bloom well.Hardy hibiscus: Also loves full sun but tolerates partial shade.Indoors: place in the brightest spot available (like a south-facing window).

*2. Watering:

Likes evenly moist soil.Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.Avoid soggy soil – it can lead to root rot.Needs more frequent watering in hot weather or while blooming.

*3. Temperature:

Tropical hibiscus: Prefers 60–85°F (15–29°C).Must be protected from frost – bring indoors if temps fall below 50°F (10°C).Hardy hibiscus: Can tolerate freezing temperatures; dies back in winter and regrows in spring.

*4. Humidity:

Loves moderate to high humidity.Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray if growing indoors.

*5. Soil:

Well-draining, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0–6.5) is ideal.Add compost or organic matter for better growth.

*6. Fertilizer:

Feed every 2–3 weeks during spring and summer with a high-potassium fertilizer (like 10-10-20).Stop or reduce fertilizing in fall/winter when growth slows.

*7. Pruning:

Prune in early spring to control size and encourage bushier growth.Remove dead or crossing branches anytime.

*8. Repotting:

Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow thepot.Choose a container that’s 1–2 inches wider than the current one.
