Hibiscus is the ultimate plant for creating a touch of the tropics. It forms huge blooms, up to 8 inches in diameter, on a shrubby upright plant that you can train to grow as a tree.
Individual blossoms last only a day or two, but plants bloom freely from late spring to autumn and occasionally through winter. Keep the soil uniformly moist and give the plant as much indoor light as possible to keep it blooming.
Hibiscus plants offer a colourful and tropical feel, but require careful care for maximum flower production. Make sure to provide full open sun and a heavy water supply.
The giant blooms are eye-catching and irresistible and they come in a dizzying array of colours, from shades of red to pink to orange, yellow, white, and even blue.

Care for hibiscus plants by watering regularly, providing sunlight and spraying with a soil activator. Spray hibiscus plants once or twice a month to make them more heat tolerant, cold tolerant and drought tolerant.
