Wait until the temperature of outer space consistently between 60-70 ° F (15.6 to 21.1 ° C) before you consider to plant hibiscus. If the temperature drops to 55 ° F (12.8 ° C), the plant will stop growing. Meanwhile, when down to 45 ° F (7.2 ° C) or colder, the plant will die. It was not appropriate for the hibiscus which has durability (hardy), but it is still an important caveat is the heat requirement for this plant.

The Hibiscus is the kind of plants that love the sun, but can not stand too much direct sunlight without burning. Select a location in the garden / park you are exposed to direct sunlight about 4-6 hours per day, and receives the reflected light from the surrounding area during the remaining time available. Locations with such characters usually found on the west or south of the garden / park you. If necessary, plant hibiscus in a location that is exposed to a large tree shadow. However, it will be necessary room to grow, since the plant is rapidly taking the space of two or three times the original size.

Do check the pH of the soil garden / park you! Hibiscus prefers acidic soil, so if the soil pH above 6.5 scale it should be made more acidic (Note: The mean alkaline pH 7-14). Additionally, you will need to give a lot of nutrients and fertilizer as a soil supplement. Combine these supplements into garden compost few weeks (or months, if you have time) before planting. You will also need to add fertilizer, which is low in phosphorus and high in potassium, into the soil mix.
Hibiscus Growing In Garden Courtyard
Dig a planting hole using a shovel or hoe to prepare the planting hole. Each hole (for single seed or seed hibiscus) must have depth along the roots of the plant or twice, if not three times, as well as width. Loose soil around the plant will allow for better drainage, and should not be compacted down. Plant each plant hibiscus with a distance of at least 0.6 to 0.9 meters of each other.
Gradually, enter each hibiscus plant into the hole that has been prepared. Be careful not to damage the roots of plants. Refill the hole with soil to the height of the base of the stem. Closing rod with the ground will be able to make the plants die slowly because the risk of fungal especially when planted in the rainy season. Flush abundantly hibiscus immediately after planting to help reduce the risk of stress-induced displacement.

There are several ways of pruning, but all managed to cut branches / twigs at the top of the trunk of the tree (which grows branches / twigs or leaves) in the corner away from the center of the bush. This will send a signal to the plant to grow more branches at these locations, outwards away from the central part of the bush.
