Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Sowing & Germination:

• Best Time to Plant: Early spring after the last frost or late summer in warm climates.
• Seed Preparation:
  • Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the seed coat.
  • Scarify (lightly nick) the seed coat for faster germination.
• Sowing Instructions:
  • Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining seed-starting mix.
  • Maintain temperatures of 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal germination.
  • Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Germination occurs in 14-30 days, depending on conditions.

Growing & Maintenance:

• Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors once they reach 4-6 inches tall and after the danger of frost has passed.
• Spacing: Plant 24-36 inches apart to allow for full growth.
• Watering: Regular deep watering, especially in hot, dry weather. Allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced slow-release fertilizer or liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Pruning: Trim back weak or dead stems to encourage healthier, fuller growth.
• Winter Care (For Colder Climates): In zones below 8, mulch around the base or bring potted hibiscus indoors.

Additional Growing Tips:

• Encourage More Blooms – Regular deadheading (removing spent flowers) promotes continuous blooming.
• Support for Taller Plants – If growing giant hibiscus varieties, provide staking or support in windy areas.
• Container Gardening Tip – Use large pots with drainage holes and place in a sunny location.
• Pest & Disease Control – Monitor for aphids and spider mites; use neem oil or insecticidal soap if necessary.
