My Hibiscus Plant

This is an indoor Hibiscus Plant. It just started blooming about 1 week ago. It has on it at least 12 buds. The important tip with this plant is; When this plant is beginning to bud and bloom, It drinks up water very fast. It will only keep budding if it is fed each day, about 1 cup of water.

Also, each day that it blooms, The bloom only last 1 full day. The next morning, Clip off at the end of the stem of the curled up bloom. Each day, it should increase the amount of blooms.

I noticed today, It has blossomed 3 new flowers. And this should continue for the spring and summer. When the warm weather is here to stay, This indoor plant can go outdoors. It loves the sunshine. But, Keep an eye on watering it. It is a lot of fun watching the growth in a plant like this.

Hugs,

I recieved an hibiscus plant from Hawaii, I need to know how to plant it. It is in a bag--one end has tan dried like roots. I don't know which end goes into the soil.

Hi Jackie,

Truly lovely...what is the source for such a plant? Is it very expensive and does it come in different colors?

Thanks for sharing.

Garden: Hibiscus Finally in Bloom

Pink hibiscus flowerEvery winter our Hibiscus plants get hit hard. It takes this long for them to revive, even here in Florida. I am always amazed at how precise mother nature is with flowers.
