Basic rules for indoor hibiscus care: To ensure your plant regularly delights you with lush blooms, provide it with comfortable conditions: Lighting: Maximum bright but diffused light (southern or eastern windows). Hibiscus will not bloom if there is insufficient light. Watering: Generously in summer after the top layer of soil dries out, moderate in winter. Avoid stagnant water in the pan. Humidity: Requires regular misting of the leaves, especially during the heating season.
Temperature: During the warm season, +20–25 °C; in winter, a dormant period of +15–18 °C is desirable. Pruning: Shorten the shoots annually in the spring. This stimulates the growth of new branches, at the ends of which buds form. Potential problems when growing: Dropping buds: A sudden change in location, drafts, drying out soil, or watering with cold water. Yellowing leaves: Chlorosis (iron deficiency), overwatering, or a pot that is too small. Lack of flowering: A pot that is too large, insufficient light, or lack of a cool wintering area.
