HIBISCUS

The tropical-looking flowers of the Hibiscus create a warm-weather vibe and make this perennial a favorite of many. There are two varieties of Hibiscus: hardy and tropical. Hardy Hibiscus can quickly outgrow a container, and they naturally go dormant during the colder months, so it is not common to grow this variety in a pot. Potted hibiscus feels most comfortable at indoor temperatures between 18 and 28 °C. If the temperature outside is consistently above 15 °C, your indoor hibiscus can move outside in the summer. Here, it prefers a semi-shady and sheltered location. Both indoors and outdoors, the hibiscus is extremely loyal to its location. This means that once it begins to bloom, it should not be moved. A change of location places great stress on the plant and can lead to the shedding of flowers.
