(12 cm pot)"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis<\/em> is a vigorous, evergreen shrub with dark green, glossy leaves and serrated edges. This format \u2013 shrub\/free growth \u2013 is perfect for planting in pots\/planters and creating colourful accents on balconies and terraces, or for planting in the ground to create small hedges or colourful shrub areas in gardens. Its flowers are large, solitary, and showy, coming in a wide variety of colours, including red, pink, yellow, white, and orange. Flowering occurs mainly in spring and summer, extending into autumn in mild climates. It\u2019s a very ornamental plant thanks to its lush, colourful flowers, even though they last for a very short time: around 24 hrs. The good news is that, in the right conditions and in its typical flowering season in Mediterranean regions (spring\/summer), it can flower almost continuously, as new buds form while older flowers fade, keeping the Hibiscus looking beautiful and lush during the milder\/warmer months of the year.<\/p>\n

CUIDADOS<\/strong>
Light<\/strong>: Prefers bright spots with good sun exposure; adapts to full sun or partial shade. In very hot regions, it\u2019s best to provide some shade during the strongest hours of sun.
Temperature<\/strong>: Sensitive to cold, does not tolerate frost. In regions with harsh winters, it should be grown in a pot so it can be protected during winter.
Watering<\/strong>: Needs regular watering, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. In summer, water more often; in winter, reduce frequency.
Humidity: <\/strong>It likes environments with moderate humidity. In very dry locations, it can benefit from leaf misting.
Fertilisation<\/strong>: Apply a fertiliser suitable for outdoor flowering plants in spring\u2013summer to encourage growth and flowering.
Pruning<\/strong>: Perform structural and maintenance pruning in late winter or early spring to encourage branching and flowering. Remove dry or damaged branches regularly.
Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial.
Soil<\/strong>: Fertile, well-drained substrate\/soil rich in organic matter. Prefers a pH between 6.0 and 6.5.
Not Pet Friendly<\/strong>: There\u2019s no specific documentation on the toxicity of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis for pets. However, it’s always advisable to prevent animals from eating parts of the plant.<\/p>\n

Fun facts<\/strong>: Each flower lasts a very short time, typically 24 to 48 hours! Although the scientific name Hibiscus rosa-sinensis means \u201cChina rose\u201d, this Hibiscus isn\u2019t related to true roses. It\u2019s the national flower of Malaysia and Hawaii.<\/p>\n
