🌷 How to make your Hibiscus plants thrive and bloom

"If your plant isn't flowering, feed it." - Winn Soldani (Fancy Hibiscus)

💬 Among gardeners, Hibiscus plants have a reputation to have couple maintenance issues:

1. they can get bugsy (because they must be so tasty!)
2. they can get leggy, especially fancy grafted cultivars, and after a while they don't look as perfect as when they came from a nursery.

‼️ Tips for healthy and pretty hibiscus plants (can be applied to other flowering shrubs)

• 🟡Full sun. Essential for profuse flowering and keeps away diseases.
• 🟡Pruning. Keep it pruned and it will get bushy and produce more blooms.
• 🟡Well-drained soil. Hibiscus likes regular watering but hates wet feet.
• 🟡Nutrition program. Hibiscus plants are heavy feeders. But keep in mind that if you just keep pushing granulated plant food, you can over-fertilize the plant. Excessive salts will accumulate in soil and you will end up with a sickly looking plant.

⚠️ Keys to balanced plant food and bloom booster

• 💋Use liquid fertilizer, preferably amino acid based, it won't create nutrients lock up
• 💋Fertilize on regular basis, it's better dilute concentration and add food with every watering
• 💋Always add micro-elements - they are essential for plant health

🌞 If you do this right, the result will be:

• ⏺healthy, green plants, like they just came from a nursery
• ⏺reliable blooming circle
• ⏺better cold tolerance and disease resistance. Remember that a strong plant will be less ⏺stressed and less "bugged" by bugs!

🍲 What Fertilizer to Use Now and How?
Part 1. What are important keys to healthy plants

❓ Q: It's early Spring this year. Should I start fertilizing my plants sooner than usual?

• ✔️ A: Most fertilizer instructions recommend fertilizing tropical plants from March to November. This is because plants don't need as much food during the cooler months when many go dormant, and excess nutrients can burn the roots if not absorbed. However, for the most effective fertilizer program and healthy plants, consider these points:

✔️ Sunshine Boosters Year-Round



Liquid amino-acid-based fertilizers like Sunshine Boosters are safe to use year-round. Since watering is reduced in cooler weather, the intake of water-soluble fertilizer is also lower, providing plants with just the essential nutrients for their minimal needs.

✔️ Dry Fertilizer Schedule



Be cautious with dry fertilizers. Apply them only during active growth in the hot season.

✔️ Temperature Is Key



If March is still cold, delay dry fertilizer use. However, if nighttime temperatures in February stay above 65F, you can start a dry fertilizer program using slow-release, granulated plant food.

✔️ What Fertilizers to Use and How
