Winter Hibiscus Care: Secret Tips for Summer Flower Showers

• Move potted hibiscus indoors or to a sheltered, well-lit spot when temperatures drop below 15°C to protect from cold drafts.
• For ground-planted hibiscus, carefully pot it before winter using loose, well-draining soil.
• Lightly prune before winter and reduce watering; only water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry to prevent root rot.
• Avoid fertilizing during winter dormancy; begin organic fertilization in March or early spring when new shoots appear.
• Use homemade fertilizers like dried banana peel powder (for potassium) or diluted mustard cake solution (1:5 ratio, 1-2 times/month) for abundant blooms.

Why It Matters: Proper winter care, including protection, reduced watering, and timely fertilization, ensures a vibrant hibiscus bloom in summer.
