Care and Culture of Hibiscus

Growing Tropical Hibiscus is a rewarding and exciting process. Learn how to grow these fancy, dramatic dinner-plate sized flowers with the right cultural care. Full sun, and high light levels are crucial for successful flowering as well as the right amount of water and feed. All this revealed in our latest instructional video with horticulturist, Byron Martin.

Hibiscus growing truly is a bit of an art and experience does show when you know which rules to 'break'. I live in Trinidad and Tobago, and a lot of us with hybrids find full sun isn't great for potted hybrids. For the standard hibiscus, fine, it'll thrive. But down here, 3-4 hours direct sun, and rest of the day in a bright, well lit place for indirect sun, is perfect.

Wish I had the expertise Byron has so I can problem solve better.

Whenever i see yellow hibiscus flowers, it reminds me of my dad. He loved yellow hibiscus plants.

Thank you for this short presentation. I was looking for a short "how to" that hit all the major points to show to a friend who has a potted hibiscus. This hit the major points, was concise, and clear.

Dear I cannot understand me in English but what you are saying but I can say your garden is very well and plants are so healthy

I love these plants and have bought a number from you.  However, I eventually have trouble indoors with them due to pests, mostly whiteflies.  Are there good ways to prevent pests without dangerous chemicals?  Thanks

I hv a hibiscus plant but the bud falls before it blooms !! What must I do pl advise

[wendywillow]

Just so I understand - do you fertilize during the winter? I live in Canada where I bring in my hibiscus plants (in pots) about September when the temps dip into the 40's at night.

I find they go dormant in winter (so don't feed them) and I put them either in south or north facing windows. South get more sun, of course, but since they're not flowering, does it matter? I found the north windows to provide adequate light with slightly cooler temps (as there is no direct sunlight to heat up the plant). Would appreciate some advice. Hope this is not too long! Thanks.
