Nowadays, more and more people enjoy gardening, and for those who love flowers, they can't resist bringing home beautiful blooms. I wonder if those who enjoy gardening have ever cared for this beautiful flower, which is the hibiscus.
Hibiscus is commonly known as China rose, with an extremely long blooming period. If well cared for and kept at a suitable temperature, it can bloom all year round, and new branches can also bloom. To make hibiscus grow well, it is necessary to understand a few key points.
1. Regular pruning
Hibiscus blooms on new branches, so pruning is very important. To maintain a beautiful tree shape and a large number of flowers, pruning and shaping can be done in early spring before and after moving out of the house. Based on the strong branching and sprouting ability of hibiscus, all parts except the base with 2-3 buds should be cut. Pruning can promote the growth of new branches, making the growth more vigorous and the plant more beautiful. After pruning, due to the reduced consumption of the above-ground part, water and fertilizer should be appropriately controlled.
2. Loose and fertile soil
The soil in the pot must be fertile and loose. When planting, you can add some manure to provide the hibiscus with sufficient nutrition and promote better growth.

3. Supplementing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer
We should reduce the amount of fertilizer given to hibiscus, as it requires less nutritional intake at this time. When moving hibiscus outside for cultivation, remember to repot it, using new soil that is loose and fertile, preferably sandy loam soil. Appropriate application of base fertilizer can also supplement phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote blooming.
4. Sufficient sunlight
Hibiscus loves sunlight and can grow better in sunny conditions. Therefore, in warmer seasons, it should be placed directly outside to receive ample sunlight. In summer, when it's not too hot, it can also be kept outside in the sun.
To make hibiscus grow well and bloom more, understanding and mastering these points is very important, and when done right, the flowers will bloom continuously.
