Small hibiscus cannot use heavy and hardened soil. It can provide soil with good air permeability and drainage, prepared with river sand, leaf mold soil and organic fertilizer. The suitable temperature for growth is around 15-28°C. Spray water in summer to lower the temperature. Small hibiscus has high requirements for sunlight and needs more than 6 hours of sunlight every day. Water regularly during the growth period, water once a day in summer, and fertilize every 10-15 days during periods of rapid growth. In addition to normal maintenance, you also need to pay attention to pruning and pest control.

1. Suitable soil

Small hibiscus cannot be planted in heavy, hardened soil, otherwise it will not grow well. In order to ensure a good growth foundation, you can provide soil with good air permeability and drainage. You can prepare it yourself with river sand, leaf mold soil, and organic fertilizer, which can basically meet the needs. For convenience, you can directly purchase nutrient soil for cultivation.

2. Temperature range

For small hibiscus, the suitable temperature for growth is around 15-28°C. It is relatively cold-tolerant, but you must also pay attention to cold protection in winter to prevent the plant from being frostbitten. In summer, do a good job of cooling down and spray water appropriately to lower the surrounding temperature.

3. Sufficient sunlight

Hibiscus has high requirements for sunlight. It is a plant that likes sunlight and can be grown in a brightly lit place. Maintaining more than 6 hours of sunshine every day and sufficient exposure to sunlight can make the plants grow robustly and ensure the number of blooms. If the growing environment is too shaded, growth will be affected.

4. Water and fertilizer management

It is necessary to water regularly during the growth period, and the pot soil should not be too dry, nor should there be too much water accumulation. Especially in summer, water should be watered once a day. During the period of rapid growth, top-dressing fertilizer should be applied in time, and fertilizer can be applied every 10-15 days.

5. Precautions

In addition to normal maintenance, small hibiscus also needs to pay attention to pruning and pest control.
