How to care for the internet-famous hibiscus?
A detailed introduction about the care of the internet-famous hibiscus in terms of green plant maintenance is as follows:
Yesterday, a hibiscus group purchase took place, and several horticulturists asked about the cultivation methods for hibiscus. They hoped for an article specifically introducing it. So, let's talk about hibiscus today.
Hibiscus is actually a plant worth cultivating for its flowers. In the countryside, it was often seen as a fence of hibiscus. During the summer and autumn seasons, the flowers bloom continuously. Many families also plant hibiscus trees in the ground, which are名副其实的花树 (literally "real flower trees") when they bloom. However, the hibiscus planted in the past were usually the most common single-petal pink varieties. Now, with horticultural varieties, the flowers are more ornamental and there are more varieties available.
Hibiscus Flower Introduction
The hibiscus flower belongs to the Malvaceae family, Hibiscus genus, and is a deciduous shrub with good branching and an upright plant. It can grow to a height of 3-4 meters. It can be planted in the garden, either in the ground to become a flowering tree or in a pot for ornamental purposes, with annual pruning to control the shape. It blooms continuously from June to late autumn.
Hibiscus Cultivation Methods
Hibiscus flowers have strong adaptability and relatively relaxed maintenance. To keep hibiscus blooming continuously, you can start with the following points.
1. Potting Soil

Hibiscus can be grown in pots or in the ground. When planted in the ground, it can be directly planted in garden soil to grow into a flowering tree. For potted plants, the shape can be controlled through pruning. The potting soil can be loose and fertile, mixed with garden soil, peat, compost, and perlite in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Hibiscus has strong adaptability and does not have high requirements for potting soil.
2. Light
Hibiscus flowers enjoy plenty of sunlight and can be grown in a well-lit position. In the summer, they can be slightly shaded, and they can also grow and bloom in a semi-sunlit environment. They are considered to be flowering plants with a high adaptability to light.
3. Fertilization and Watering
Hibiscus flowers are somewhat tolerant to poor soil. When planting, add some fermented organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer to the potting soil. During maintenance, applying a compound fertilizer once or twice a month can result in good growth.
