Cultivation methods for potted hibiscus

Soil

Hibiscus has few requirements when it comes to soil. It is best grown in relatively fertile sandy soil with good drainage and moisture retention, providing the flower with a superior growing environment. It is best to choose to plant it when it is dropping its leaves, as it survives more easily then.

Light

Hibiscus likes an environment with fairly abundant sunlight, so potted hibiscus should be given sufficient light.

Temperature

Hibiscus has poor cold tolerance. In winter, the pot should be brought indoors. The indoor temperature is best kept between 3 and 10 degrees; the hibiscus will enter a dormant period, during which it should not be watered much. Only around Qingming may it be placed back outdoors.
