Planting & Sowing Instructions
-
Soil Preparation:
Choose well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). You can enrich the soil with organic compost to encourage healthy growth. -
Planting Location:
Hibiscus plants thrive in full sunlight. Choose a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the area is sheltered from strong winds. -
Sowing Seeds:
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. To sow indoors, lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil and keep the temperature between 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. Hibiscus seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days. -
Watering:
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Hibiscus plants prefer consistent moisture, especially during their growing season. Water the seeds regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy. -
Transplanting (if sowed indoors):
Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and the outdoor temperatures are consistently warm, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for 1-2 weeks before transplanting them to their final location in the garden. -
Care and Maintenance:
After planting, continue watering regularly. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and prevents weeds. Prune the plants to encourage healthy growth and maintain their shape. -
Harvesting:
Hibiscus flowers can be enjoyed fresh when they bloom, typically from summer to fall. The blooms last for a day but new flowers will continue to appear.
