Roselle sounds beautiful just from its name, and many people who enjoy flower teas should be very familiar with roselle. Roselle is very suitable for brewing tea, because roselle is rich in vitamin C, as well as flavonoids, anthocyanins and more. It is very beneficial to health. Here, Home Growing will talk with everyone about questions regarding roselle.

1. What kind of flower is roselle?

Roselle has another name, called roselle hibiscus. It mostly grows in the southern regions of our country, and likes places with relatively hot climates, so very few people grow it in the north. Roselle is actually the calyx of roselle hibiscus together with the fruit; brewing it as tea can beautify and nourish the skin, lower blood lipids and help with weight loss. In addition, roselle also has a certain medicinal value.

2. How is roselle grown?

Roselle mostly grows in tropical regions, so if you live in the north, fellow flower lovers, it may not be very suitable for you to grow roselle in pots. Of course, if there is heating in winter and the temperature is suitable, it is also possible.

Seeds First, fellow flower lovers can buy some roselle seeds online. Roselle has a relatively high germination rate, so it can be grown from seeds. Soak the seeds for about one day, and then they can be sown. The temperature at planting time is best around 20 degrees. Water thoroughly, and generally seedlings will emerge in about two weeks. When the small roselle seedlings grow to about ten centimeters, they can be transplanted.

Transplanting Before transplanting, prepare a flower pot with a slightly larger diameter, because roselle grows relatively fast. As for the soil, choose relatively fertile sandy soil. You can use leaf mold mixed with sand. After transplanting, water thoroughly and move to a shady place to let the seedlings recover. In about two weeks, they can be cared for normally.

Care Roselle relatively likes a growing environment with sufficient light, so usually be sure to keep roselle receiving sufficient light. In addition, roselle has a very strong drought tolerance, so there is no need to water too frequently at ordinary times, otherwise it is easy to cause the roselle root system to rot; keeping the soil slightly dry can instead let roselle grow better.

Roselle only blooms in autumn, around October, so fellow flower lovers must be patient. Roselle's flowering period is relatively short; generally a single flower only blooms for one day. However, about three weeks after blooming, the calyx and fruit can be picked, and being able to drink roselle that you grew yourself is also a very nice thing.
