Growth habits of the little hibiscus

The little hibiscus is suitable for pot cultivation. The growing medium should be a soil with good permeability and drainage; ordinary commercial potting soil available on the market will do.

The little hibiscus likes light and needs to receive more than 6 hours of light every day. Sufficient light ensures vigorous plant growth. It is often placed for viewing, such as on an indoor balcony, windowsill and other bright places.

The little hibiscus likes fertilizer. With sufficient fertilizer, the little hibiscus grows rapidly and blooms profusely. For young plants, balanced fertilizer is mainly used; in early summer, a fertilizer with a relatively high phosphorus content should be applied. The little hibiscus blooms a lot, so fertilizer consumption is also relatively high; apply liquid fertilizer once every 1-2 weeks or so, and stop fertilizing in winter when it enters dormancy.
