Soil: It is best to use fertile soil with good air permeability when raising hibiscus, and the flower pot should also be breathable. Lighting: The location of the plant should be exposed to sunlight and should not be too dark. It should be shaded during midsummer and try to avoid too strong direct sunlight. Temperature: Keep warm at ordinary times, and keep it between 0-10℃ in winter. Moisture: It is not drought-tolerant. Sufficient moisture should be provided during the growing season, but water should not be allowed to accumulate in the soil. Watering should be reduced in winter.

1. Substrate

1. Substrate

Hibiscus has no requirements for soil. As long as the soil is fertile, moist, well-drained and breathable, sandy soil can be used for the growth of this plant. Not only does the soil need to be breathable, but the flower pots must also be breathable to prevent water from accumulating and affecting the plants.

2. Light

It likes a well-lit environment, but does not like a dark and humid environment. Therefore, in daily life, it is necessary to ensure that the plant receives sufficient sunlight. Plants should also be exposed to light in winter. Sometimes strong direct sunlight in summer can also cause certain damage to plants, so they should be properly shaded when the sun is too strong.

3. Temperature

It has extremely weak cold resistance and will enter a dormant state when the temperature falls below 5℃. In winter, plants should be moved indoors, indoor ventilation should be maintained, and the indoor temperature should be between 0°C and 10°C to allow the plants to sleep naturally. In winter, when the sun is relatively abundant, the plants can be placed in the yard to receive light. When there is not enough sunlight outdoors, move the plants indoors immediately to prevent the plants from dying or losing leaves due to large temperature differences.

4. Moisture

It is not drought tolerant and should be kept adequately hydrated during the growing season. When the flower buds are translucent, we should reduce the water appropriately so that the plant's nutrients can be concentrated on the flowers. Watering should be reduced in winter to prevent plants from frostbite or rot due to water immersion.
