1. Sunlight and Temperature

Hibiscus plants thrive in full sunlight, so choose a location in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. These plants also prefer warm temperatures, ideally between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C).

2. Soil and Watering

Hibiscus plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Water your hibiscus regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.

3. Fertilization

Apply a balanced fertilizer specifically formulated for flowering plants every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. This will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and abundant blooms.

4. Pests and Diseases

Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with organic insecticides or by manually removing the pests. Hibiscus plants are generally resistant to diseases, but proper care and maintenance can help prevent issues.

5. Winter Care

In our colder climate, hibiscus plants will not survive the winter outdoors. Consider bringing them indoors for a flowering houseplant during the winter months.
