The hibiscus flower is hailed as the "queen" in the garden. Therefore, many people keep it at home. It is very beautiful when it blooms and it also has medicinal values such as clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling. So in what season does the hibiscus flower bloom? Let's learn about it below.
The hibiscus flower is large and has bright colors. Common colors include white, pink, purple, etc. Some varieties can even show multiple colors on one flower. Therefore, its flower seems to be telling the diversity and impermanence of life, symbolizing the ever-changing life and the constantly renewed hope. The flowering time of hibiscus is generally concentrated from August to October. At the beginning of July, flower buds start to emerge. During this period, the flowers will bloom and wither. It takes about half a month for the flowers on the main stem to start blooming. Therefore, as long as the maintenance is done well, the hibiscus flower is the strongest in mid-August. It is almost at the end of September and the beginning of October when the plants bloom for the last time. At this time, the number of flowers is significantly the least. At this time, the flowers mainly bloom on the lateral shoots.
Then how to maintain the hibiscus flower daily? It only blooms once a year. In terms of light, it needs to be exposed to direct sunlight for more than 6 hours every day to ensure the bright color of its flowers. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged. If possible, leaf soil or sand can be added to the soil to improve the air permeability and drainage of the soil. In terms of watering, it is generally watered once a week in winter, and the amount of water should be appropriately reduced after autumn. In summer, it may need to be watered more frequently. When the flower buds show color, the water should be appropriately controlled to control the growth of its leaves and concentrate nutrients on the flowers.
As for fertilization, the hibiscus flower is a small tree with developed roots. Applying a fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium once a month during the growing season is conducive to the blooming of flowers and the health of the plants. But remember that the concentration of the fertilizer should not be too high. It needs to be diluted to an appropriate multiple to avoid damaging the roots.
Planting hibiscus flowers in the courtyard or balcony at home can not only beautify the environment but also enjoy the visual feast it brings. As long as the above maintenance work is done well, you can enjoy the beautiful changes of hibiscus flowers throughout the year.
