Planting & Care
To plant your bare root hibiscus, soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a location with well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, place the plant so the crown is at soil level, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist until new growth appears. In cooler climates, grow in a container and bring indoors during winter.
Fertilize regularly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to encourage blooming. Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove dead branches. Monitor for common pests like aphids and whiteflies.
