1. Site selection and land preparation

To cultivate hibiscus, you must choose the right land in advance. This plant likes to grow in warm and humid places, and likes loose and fertile soil. It is best to choose loose and fertile, weakly alkaline and highly breathable sandy land for it. Such land is most suitable for the growth of hibiscus. After choosing the land, you must fertilize the ground and deep plow it before planting hibiscus.

2. Temperature regulation

When growing hibiscus, you should also pay attention to temperature regulation, because hibiscus is a plant that is not cold-resistant. If it is planted on a large scale, you must set up an arch shed to keep it warm in winter. If it is grown in a flowerpot, you must move it indoors. If the temperature of the growing environment is lower than five degrees, the hibiscus will suffer frost damage.

3. Fertilizer and water management

Fertilizer and water management is also very important when growing hibiscus. Although this plant likes a humid environment, it should not be watered excessively, and water should not accumulate in the soil. In addition, after entering winter, the number of watering should be reduced to prevent frost damage. Around May is the time when hibiscus grows rapidly. At this time, the supply of fertilizer should be strengthened, and topdressing should be applied every ten days.

4. Reasonable pruning

Hibiscus should be pruned in time during the cultivation period. The pruning must be reasonable and appropriate. After it enters the dormant period, you can leave 2 to 3 buds at its base and cut off the rest. After pruning, you should control water and fertilizer appropriately. In addition, during the normal growth period of hibiscus, you can also prune it appropriately, and you can trim it into different shapes to improve its ornamental value.
