  • It is recommended to prune the plant regularly to promote its shape and growth. Prune dead or damaged branches back to healthy wood. Do this preferably in the spring or immediately after blooming.

    Water this houseplant regularly, especially during the growing season in spring and summer. Allow the soil to lightly dry out between watering, but avoid letting the roots sit in water. In the fall and winter, the plant needs less water, so adjust the frequency of watering accordingly.

    The hibiscus needs well-draining potting soil that is rich in nutrients. It is important for the soil to remain lightly moist, but the plant should not be overwatered. It is recommended to regularly provide the plant with plant feed during the growing season.

    The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis thrives best in a well-draining, fertile soil. The soil should be kept moist, but not overly wet. A soil with a slightly acidic pH is ideal for this plant.

    The plant should be placed in a bright location, but not in direct sunlight. Water regularly, keeping the soil lightly moist, and feed regularly with plant food for flowering plants. It's important to inspect the plant regularly for pests and remove any dead leaves.
