Hibiscus

Hibiscus is a Tropical Blooming Plant,  Growing them indoors is not that hard.  Bright Light,  Medium Humidity,  Soil slightly dry between watering and pruning around December every year.  During the Winter season indoors Hibiscus tends to go dormant which is a good thing like humans they need a rest too.  During the Summer season feed Hibiscus an Acid Fertilizer as well as a blooming plant food,  and after their pruning from December the Hibiscus starts to grow larger leaves,  their stems gets thicker and about 4 months later they’ll start to bloom.   I put used coffee ground on top of their soil to give the Hibiscus acid,  the more acid they get the more blooms they produce.  Their blooms only lasts for a day.  When they lose their leaves from being brought indoors this is normal it does not mean they are dead. And when placing them outdoors for the summer they prefer semi-Shade, Do not place them in direct sun and in the heat they require lots of water and humidity.  Around early fall season take the hibiscus out of  it’s pot,  loosen the soil so the roots are loose from the soil and prune the roots to make it fit back into the original pot.  Hibiscus can grow quite large,  to control some of it’s growth I suggest doing this about once a year unless you prefer it to grow into a tree.   You can train this shrub to become a tree buy pruning most of the bottom stems off a couple times a year.
