Instructions
Top Tip
Hibiscus thrives in warm temperatures, so ensure it gets enough sunlight and protection from frost.
How to Water
Water Hibiscus regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water deeply to encourage root growth, especially during dry periods. Avoid wetting the leaves to prevent fungal diseases.
How to Plant
Plant Hibiscus in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant in, and backfill with soil. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the ground.
