📝 Care Sheet Included
Your hibiscus will be happiest if you give it a fertilizer with a LOW MIDDLE NUMBER and a high third number, particularly one that contains minor elements. The perfect fertilizer ratio would be 2-1-3, such as 20-10-30 with minors or something similar. The most important thing to remember is that the middle number (phosphorous) should be lower than the first and third numbers. A high third number (potassium) helps hibiscus bloom. Especially if your plant is grown in a pot, consider fertilizing once or twice a month in warm weather.
Hibiscus love water (but must have good drainage). Your new hibiscus will thrive best for you if you make sure that it receives regular, deep watering during warm weather. Especially at first, it should be watered daily. After the first week or so, water so that the soil is moist but does not remain sopping wet. Often the surface of the soil may be dry but it is wet underneath. You can tell by sharpening a pencil and sticking the sharpened end down into the pot. If the newly sharpened wood is wet when you take it out, then you donʻt need to water right away!

Hibiscus Lt. Col. Frank Carlos – again, another perfectly packaged hibiscus. This one already came with 2 blooms that opened. They didn’t look as vibrant as the picture, but that’s ok…I’ll give it time to grow.
I live in Northern California. I can’t wait for spring/summer to come back around.
I’ll definitely be buying more plants!
