Habits of hibiscus
It likes warmth and moisture, requires sufficient sunlight, and is not tolerant of shade, cold, or drought.
Keep it at 12°C-15°C in a greenhouse to overwinter. When the room temperature is below 5°C, the leaves turn yellow and fall off; below 0°C, it suffers cold damage.
It is tolerant of pruning and has strong branching ability.
It has a relatively wide adaptability to soil, but grows best in slightly acidic loam rich in organic matter with pH6.5-pH7.
