Cultural
information: Hibiscus are very popular here in Colorado
during the spring and summer for use outdoors on the patio.
Used indoors: Hibiscus require
a minimum of one half day of direct sunshine for proper growth and
flower development. If you look at the pictured plant closely...
you will notice that it has just reached it's wilting point, the
soil on the surface of the pot is light in color indicating that
it's time for water. Your plant will always let you know
visually... when it needs a drink. Water your Hibiscus thoroughly
allowing water to run thru the drain holes. Feed monthly during
the growing season... bi monthly during the winter. Propagation
via stem cuttings is difficult.
Used outdoors: After a
short acclamation period... your Hibiscus should bloom nearly the
entire summer. You can place your plant in full sun or partial
sun. Check for water daily... outdoors your plant can use a
tremendous amount of water. Thoroughly soak your plant with each
watering. Feed monthly while outdoors and don't forget to bring
your plant indoors before the first frost.
Hibiscus are widely available during the spring in a wide array
of colors. There's many forms available to... bushes, braids,
trees, and spirals in a size, shape, and color to meet any need.
