Planting And Care:

• Soil Mix: Hibiscus plants thrive in well-draining, slightly acidic soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.5. Use a high-quality potting mix containing organic matter such as compost or peat moss to improve soil structure and moisture retention.
• Sunlight: Plant hibiscus in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day for optimal blooming.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during hot weather or when the plant is actively growing and flowering. Water deeply at the base of the plant to encourage deep root growth.
• Fertilization: Feed hibiscus plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for flowering plants every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
• Pruning:Prune hibiscus plants regularly to remove dead or diseased branches, encourage bushy growth, and shape the plant. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season, but avoid heavy pruning in late fall or winter to prevent removing flower buds for the following season

Soil Mix:Hibiscus plants prefer well-draining, slightly acidic soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.5. Here’s a recommended soil mix:

• Use a high-quality potting mix designed for flowering plants or tropical plants.
• Mix in organic matter such as compost, peat moss, or coconut coir to improve soil structure and moisture retention.
• Consider adding perlite or vermiculite to enhance drainage and aeration.
• Ensure the soil is loose and friable to allow the roots to penetrate easily.

Fertilizer: Fertilize hibiscus plants regularly to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for flowering plants or acid-loving plants. Apply fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season, following the manufacturer’s instructions for dosage and application method.

Pesticide:Pests can occasionally infest hibiscus plants, so it’s essential to monitor them regularly and take appropriate action if needed. Here are some common pests that may affect hibiscus plants and their control measures:

1. Aphids: Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to control aphids, spraying the affected plants thoroughly, including the undersides of leaves.
2. Whiteflies: Use yellow sticky traps to monitor and catch whiteflies. Prune heavily infested leaves and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
3. Spider Mites: Increase humidity around the plants by misting them regularly and treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil.
4. Scale Insects: Remove scale insects manually with a soft brush or cloth, and then treat the affected areas with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Always read and follow the instructions on pesticide labels carefully, and avoid using chemical pesticides if possible, especially if the hibiscus plants are grown in a garden frequented by pollinators

By providing hibiscus plants with a well-draining soil mix enriched with organic matter and regular applications of a balanced fertilizer, you can ensure they receive the nutrients they need for healthy growth, lush foliage, and abundant, vibrant flowers.
