Hibiscus Watering Tips

When it comes to watering your hibiscus, it’s important to strike a balance. These plants prefer moist but not waterlogged soil, so water them deeply whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ideally, hibiscus should be watered in the morning to allow excess moisture to evaporate throughout the day. However, you should avoid wetting the foliage, as it can promote fungal diseases. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Lastly, be cautious not to overwater as hibiscus plants are susceptible to root rot. Adjust watering frequency based on the season and environmental conditions to maintain their health.
