A member of the Malvaceae family is the checkered hibiscus. It produces blooms with pink, white, red, and cream tones. The exquisitely gorgeous shrub produces flowers that are 4-5 inches wide. It grows well in soil that drains well and in full to partial shade.
<b>Type of soils</b> <br> well drained soil, amended with organic matter are needed.<br> <b>Type of Fertilizer</b><br> Liquid fertilizer <br> <b>Development Trend Moderate</b><br> Repotting: Every two years after the initial repotting, swap out the pot.<br> Propagation: Cuttings are taken when the plant breaks dormancy and begins to exhibit some new growth, usually in the spring or early summer.<br> Pruning: To keep the plant in good shape and promote development, trim it back by about half in the early spring.<br><br> <b>Process</b><br> 1. Mix in loamy, well-draining soil for the potting soil combination.<br> 2. In your outdoor space, place your hibiscus in full light for at least six hours.<br> 3. Give your hibiscus regular irrigations, just enough to keep the soil damp but not soggy.<br> 4. Fertilize your hibiscus once every two weeks with the fertilizer recommended for them. Container plants have a limited absorption area, thus they need more fertilizer.<br> 5. Trim your springtime hibiscus. With pruning shears, clip back any drooping or lanky branches and remove any yellowed leaves.
