Hibiscus planting in pot
If you choose hibiscus seed, the ideal is to plant it in a vase or small container and wait for the development of some sheets. After the leaves appear, transfer the plant to a slightly larger pot.
If it is a hibiscus seedling, choose a good vase and prepare the soil. If possible, add substrate to aid water drainage. Then put the seedling and keep the plant always watered.
Hibiscus planting in the ground
This plant also does very well when planted directly in the ground. To do this, prepare a suitable land with fertilizer and substrate. Also remember to remove weeds.
Plant the seedlings at least 1.5 meters apart between each plant, ensuring they have enough room to grow.
After planting, water frequently and keep the ground damp. Hibiscus is a hardy plant, but it requires proper care to thrive and bloom profusely.
Whether planting in a pot or in the ground, you need to add water regularly and pay attention to the presence of pests that are harmful to the healthy development of the plant.
