Plant’s Care Instructions:

Soil: Use a well-drained potting mix, preferably one noted for tropical plants for growing in a container. Outdoors your soil should have lots of organic matter and it helps to add a layer of compost.

Water: Tropical hibiscus is a thirsty plant and will only thrive and produce blossoms if it is given enough water. Depending on heat, wind, and humidity, your plant may need to be watered daily, or even twice a day in extremely dry conditions. It may need one to two inches of water per week. However, soils need to be well drained. If your hibiscus is dropping leaves, or you’re seeing yellowing leaves at the top of the hibiscus, chances are it’s not getting enough water. If your hibiscus has yellowing leaves in the middle or towards the bottom of the plant, chances are it’s suffocating from too much water.

Light: While most plant tags will tell you that tropical hibiscus takes full sun to partial sun, in reality, if you live somewhere hot and bright, you should go more towards a partial sun location. In Northern climates, however, your hibiscus will probably be happier in full sun. If your outdoor plant is consistently producing hibiscus flowers, it is happy, so keep doing what you’re doing. If your plant is not producing buds and flowers, try moving it into an area that has either more or less sunlight.

 Fertilizer: When you buy a potted hibiscus, it likely has a slow release fertilizer mixed into the soil so it will not require much feeding in the first few months. After that, regular feeding with a diluted fish emulsion fertilizer will keep in blooming vigorously.
