We all women love flowers that grow in our home. They delight us with their beautiful buds during the flowering period, as well as with an alluring aroma. In this article, we will talk about such a flower as hibiscus and tell you how to properly care for it.
Hibiscus
Chinese hibiscus is also known by another name as Rosan Chinese. This is a fairly common plant, which is easy enough to care for at home. If you give him proper care, then hibiscus will delight you with abundant flowering.
Home Care
Lighting
Hibiscus is very fond of light, but it can not be placed in direct sunlight. Place the flower on the south side of the window, on the windowsill in a place so that the sun does not shine on it. It is in such circumstances that hibiscus will bloom wildly and beautifully.
But in winter, the plant needs to be removed from the windowsill and rearranged in a darker place. Because in winter it falls into a dormant period and should not be disturbed.
Temperature
The ideal temperature for a flower is 18-21 degrees. In summer, you can even take him outside, just make sure that he does not stand in direct sunlight. And also try to close it from the wind and draft.
But in winter, the plant needs to be rearranged somewhere in the coldest place in the apartment. Because it will form new buds in such a period of hibernation, which during flowering will turn into beautiful flowers. The temperature for the formation of the buds should be 15 degrees.
Watering
During the flowering period, from spring to late autumn, you need to water it abundantly. You need to do this in the morning and in the evening, and after each watering you need to loosen the earth in a pot. In particularly hot times, you need to spray your plant with a spray bottle.
And in winter only if heaters are working at your place. Because then the air heats up faster, and the earth in the pot dries. During this period, do not water the plant too often. Once or twice every two days.
Top dressing
In February, hibiscus wakes up and young leaves appear on it. You immediately need to transfer the flower to the window closer to the light so that the plant does not have time to dump them. And you begin immediately increased watering, as well as top dressing.
Top dressing can be this: infusion of mullein infusion of chicken manure, wood ash, bone meal, humus and compost.
Chicken droppings and manure should always be used diluted with water. Because otherwise you can damage the roots of the flower. Ash is bred in this way: 300 grams of ash per 1 bucket of water. Urea can also be used. Dissolve 1 gram in 1 liter of water and spray the flower from the spray bottle. Bone meal is taken at the rate of 2 cups per 10 kg of soil.
Just remember that nitrogen mixtures and flower ash do not work together. They simply neutralize each other’s action, so try to use one thing.
